In 2003, the Inter-American Development Bank financed him to carry out his master's thesis work in which he evaluated the impact of the social development program -Oportunidades- on the use of primary care services.

In 2004, the Mexican Ministry of Social Development published this work, which was directed by Dr. Paul Gertler of the University of California at Berkeley and Dr. Stefano Bertozzi. Since 2005, he has received funding to conduct research projects in various areas of Public Health and its intersection with the economy from the Mexican government, CONACYT, UC-Mexus, various universities in the United States such as Emory, Chicago, and UCSD, as well as from the governments of the United States and England.
