Education

Gomez-Ospina studied petroleum engineering at the National University of Colombia[4] before transferring to the University of Colorado Boulder, where she double-majored in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Biochemistry.[5] [6] She graduated summa cum laude.

She joined the Medical Scientist Training Program at the Stanford University School of Medicine and earned her MD/PhD in 2011.[7] Her doctoral thesis was entitled, "The calcium channel CACNA1C gene: multiple proteins, diverse functions."

She spent a year in internal medicine at Santa Barbara Cottage hospital before pursuing a Dermatology residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital.[8] She completed her residency in Medical Genetics at Stanford Hospital.[9] Her post-doctoral work focused on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in pediatrics.

Research

Gomez-Ospina has published research in several academic journals, including The New England Journal of Medicine,[10] Cell,[11] Nature Communications,[12] Nature Medicine,[13] [14] and the American Journal of Medical Genetics.[15]

Her professional work includes point-of-care testing for children with disorders in their ability to regulate ammonia levels. With her colleagues, Gomez-Ospina has developed a handheld device to measure levels of ammonia in serum.[16] [17] [18] [19]
