Biography
Fernando Vazquez-Alaniz, PhD, MSc, is a Professor at Universidad Juárez del Estado de Durango, Durango, Mexico, where he completed part of his doctoral training after receiving education at the National Politechnic Institute. His research focuses on environmental and genetic risk factors associated with pregnancy complications, particularly preeclampsia and hypertensive disorders, in Mexican mestizo populations. His work examines the relationships between environmental exposures—including lead and arsenic—and maternal health outcomes, as well as genetic polymorphisms in genes related to detoxification, DNA repair, and metabolic pathways. His most-cited publication, "Association between Blood Lead Levels and Delta-Aminolevulinic Acid Dehydratase in Pregnant Women" (2017), has received 35 citations and exemplifies his contributions to understanding occupational and environmental health risks during pregnancy.
