About Me

I am the founder and curator of Arácnido Taxonomy, a science-focused platform created to share knowledge and promote education in the areas of arachnid biology, venom systems, and their potential applications in medicine. My professional background spans more than 25 years in the fields of medicine, clinical research, and healthcare operations, where I have been deeply involved in study design, regulatory compliance, and the oversight of complex clinical trials.

Throughout my career, I have maintained a strong interest in how science—particularly in the biomedical and natural sciences—can be used to inform, educate, and inspire. My experience in clinical research and regulatory science has given me a solid foundation in evidence-based practice, which I now apply to the exploration of topics such as biodiversity, venom pharmacology, and evolutionary biology. While I am not a taxonomist by training, I bring a scientific and analytical lens to these subjects, viewing them through the broader framework of health, discovery, and public knowledge.

My fascination with arachnids, especially spiders and scorpions, began early in life and has developed into a personal academic interest. Through Arácnido Taxonomy, I aim to share accurate, well-researched information about these often-misunderstood creatures. The platform is dedicated to making complex topics—such as arachnid classification, venom composition, and evolutionary adaptation—more accessible to a wide audience, including educators, researchers, healthcare professionals, and the general public.

In addition to highlighting the ecological and biological significance of arachnids, I focus much of my work on venomics and toxinology, with particular interest in the medical potential of venom-derived compounds. My research and educational efforts explore how these substances might contribute to the development of new therapeutics, improve antivenom strategies, and advance our understanding of physiological mechanisms at the molecular level.

Through the Arácnido Taxonomy website and its social media presence—@aracnidotaxonomy on Instagram —I strive to blend scientific rigor with educational outreach. My goal is to foster curiosity, promote evidence-based learning, and encourage a multidisciplinary appreciation of how the natural world intersects with medicine and public health.

Ultimately, this work reflects my commitment to advancing both scientific literacy and cross-disciplinary dialogue. By making specialized knowledge more approachable, we can build greater respect for biodiversity, drive innovation in healthcare, and support more informed conversations between the scientific community and the public.
