Education
Gomez-Ospina studied petroleum engineering at the National University of Colombia [ 4] University of Colorado Boulder , where she double-majored in Molecular , Cellular , and Developmental Biology and Biochemistry .[ 1] [ 2] [ 5] [ 6] summa cum laude [ 5]
She joined the Medical Scientist Training Program at the Stanford University School of Medicine and earned her MD/PhD in 2011.[ 7] 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] Stanford Hospital .[ 9] hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in pediatrics.[ 3]
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] American Journal of Medical Genetics [ 2] [ 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]
