Biography

I obtained my degree in Biology in 2006 and my Master degree in Science and Chemical Technologies in 2008. I gained a fellowship from the AlfaBioproam Network Project for an international stay in the UAM (Mexico) for 9 months from 2009 until 2010. In that stay, I learned several molecular biology techniques for the genetic engineering of Escherichia coli. Afterwards, I started my Ph.D. in 2010, focused on an excellent project for the optimization of biofuels production by the fermentation of E. coli with glycerol as waste material. During my Ph.D., I stayed in the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) at the University of Manchester (United Kingdom) in the Laboratory of Professor Roystone Goodacre for learning and practicing with metabolomics tools. I obtained my Ph.D. diploma in 2014 with the qualification of Cum Laude. I continue my research work on biofuels production with E. coli as a postdoc in the same laboratory. Since 2015, I have been employed at University of Cadiz as a non-tenured lecturer. In 2017, I had another stay at MIB to continue my research work of several projects by using the metabolomics platform. In 2018, I gained the position of lecturer in the same department. I recently gained funding as a co-Principal Investigator of a project entitled “Platinum group metal bioremediation of automotive three-way catalysts” in which one of the specific objectives is to obtain cyanide by recombinant E. coli for the sequestration of platinum from a catalyst.
