Biography

During my degree in chemistry I completed my training with courses, among others, in quality and spectrometry. Then I did my masters in the laboratory of Regulation of Gene Expression and Cancer headed by Dr. Pedro Medina, obtaining results that were presented in national and international congresses. I did my doctorate in the same laboratory with a grant from the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, obtaining the highest degree of distinction "cum laude" granted unanimously. During these years I focused my work on the regulation of the SWI / SNF complex by means of microRNAs and the development of new therapeutic strategies for lung cancer using the activity of microRNAs to direct the expression of suicidal genes improving my abilities in molecular biology, cell culture, microscopy and NGS analysis among other aspects. I was also responsible for managing the maintenance and acquisition of equipment and laboratory devices according to the needs of the group. I have presented communications in numerous conferences and I have taught at the University of Granada also participating in teacher training activities. Now I'm working in the Pharmacognosy group (Geneva), headed by Prof. Muriel Cuendet, engineering multiple myeloma cells with CRISPR-Cas9.
