General Info

About me

I studied medicine and pediatrics with the specific intention of seeking a solution to the health problems of children. Also, I am interested in the growth and development from early childhood, nutrition issues, overweight/obesity, diabetes mellitus, puberty, and other issues that affect the endocrine system, such as thyroid and adrenal gland.
