Dr. Adriana Perez Grovas S. is an award-winning Medical Geneticist with a Ph.D. in Medical Genetics from the University of Nottingham, where her research focused on epitranscriptomic modifications in neurocognitive diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Her doctoral studies were supported by a scholarship from the Mexican government (SECIHTI/Conahcyt) and additional sponsorship from the Neuroscience Support Group at the Queen’s Medical Centre, a charity in Nottingham, UK. Before pursuing her PhD, Dr. Perez Grovas specialized in Medical Genetics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where her thesis examined telomere length in Huntington’s disease. She later joined Centogene in Germany, contributing to clinical trials and research on rare and neurodegenerative disorders. These experiences strengthened her expertise in the diagnosis of genetic, hereditary, and rare diseases, as well as in the interpretation of complex genetic and molecular test results. Dr. Perez Grovas has authored several peer-reviewed publications in high-impact scientific journals and is deeply committed to effective science communication. She founded a science blog and a science communication social media channel in her native language to make complex genetic concepts more accessible to wider audiences. Driven by this passion, she joined JoVE as a Science Editor, where she works to identify impactful research and support scientists in communicating their discoveries through visual media, advancing global collaboration, scientific literacy, and the dissemination of cutting-edge genetic research. adriana.perezgrovas@jove.com
