Biography

Cristina Gamez is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia, possessing extensive expertise in allergy, proteomics, and molecular biology. She has considerable lab work experience in private pharmaceutical companies, where she has led lab management for the Children Allergy Immunology Research Group (CAIR) and provides lab advice while co-supervising PhD students. Gamez's research focuses on understanding the immunological mechanisms behind allergic diseases and developing preventive strategies. Her PhD, awarded in 2014 from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, centered on identifying new shrimp allergenic proteins and their implications for cross-reactivity with mite allergens. Currently, she investigates risk factors contributing to allergy prevalence in modern societies and explores immune markers associated with the development of allergies. Further, she examines the mechanisms involved in allergic disease and the development of the immune system during early life to enhance tolerance to allergic responses.
