W.G. studied Biology at the University of Havana, Cuba (1998-2003). During the last two years of her undergraduate studies, W.G. was trained as a specialist in Bioinformatics at CIGB in Havana, Cuba. In 2004, Wendy moved to Chile and worked as research assistant at CECs where she met her scientific passion, the ion channels, in the group of Ramón Latorre. Later, she continued with doctoral studies (2005-2010) in the group of Prof. Danilo González studying potassium channels in plants with a structural point of view at Universidad de Talca. Wendy obtained her Ph.D. funded by ANID. Afterward, she won her first grant (Fondecyt de Iniciación) to study K2P channels in plants and animals. Simultaneously, she received expert training in plant biophysics as a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Prof. Ingo Dreyer at the University of Potsdam, Germany. In 2012, she became director of the Center for Bioinformatics, Simulations and Modeling at Universidad de Talca and assistant professor. In 2014, she obtained her second grant (Fondecyt Regular) and became Associate Professor at Universidad de Talca. In 2019, she obtained her third grant (Fondecyt Regular) and became full professor in 2021. Since 2017, Wendy has been a researcher of the Millennium Nucleus of Ion Channels-Associated Diseases (MiNICAD). Currently, she is studying through her third Fondecyt grant the “Structural insights into the mechanism of multi-channel blockers of atrial ion channels”.
