Education and career[edit]
Zárate is a first-generation college student who came to the United States with her parents under the Bracero program.[4] She earned her B.S. in biology from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. In 2007 she earned a Ph.D. from University of California, Riverside; Her dissertation "Plant responses to the silverleaf whitefly" was co-advised by Linda L. Walling and Patricia Singer and focused on defense signaling in innate immunity.[5][6] Following her Ph.D. she did postdoctoral research working in the field of chemical ecology.[1][where?][better source needed] She then worked leading offices of undergraduate researcher at the University of San Diego and the University of California, Los Angeles.[1]
From 2019 through 2020, Zárate was president of the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS).[2]
