My current position is Associated Professor of Cellular Biology at the University Complutense of Madrid. My research has been focused on the evolution and development of the nervous system. As a summary of my scientific productivity, it is worth mentioning that I have had 61 research articles published (JCR indexed), 30 in the last 10 years and 22 of them in the first quartile, as well as 5 book chapters and 8 conferences to which I have been invited in specialized congresses. I have directed three doctoral theses in the last ten years, financed by competitive research projects, and I was principal investigator in the last three of them. http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5578-192X.
