effects of conotoxins on the central nervous system and their connection to muscular paralysis, sleepiness, or drowsiness, involuntary motion and more. Today, conotoxin peptides are very important and they are extensively used biochemical probes such as to test calcium channels in neurons and prohibitory of muscular movement when investigation actions at synapses. For example, two classes of conotoxins are used as analytical agents: ω-conotoxin has been widely used for studying neuronal

The characterization of over 50 biologically active peptides from the snail's venom had been made possible, in part, by her studies. Scientific findings regarding the peptides found in snails have applications in diagnostic tools for cancers and the development of drugs for the treatment of

Cruz has also pursued research in connecting science and technology to poor and indigenous rural communities. In 2001, she launched an initiative called the Rural LINC Program which allowed indigenous women in the
Philippines to work at a fruit-processing plant in order to combat poverty.

Additionally, she currently serves as the project leader for the Future Earth
Philippines Program, an effort to reduce unsustainable practices like deforestation, coral reef degradation, pollution, and irresponsible mining and agriculture in the Philippines.

Cruz has published over 130 academic papers and as a prolific career in research. In 1970, Cruz worked as an assistant professor at the
University of the Philippines College of Medicine. She worked with many biochemists and began her research on
