Ph.D. at Brunel University, London, UK (1989). Posdoctoral position at NCI-NIH at Frederick, MD, USA (1992). Ph.D. and postdoctoral training in the Cell Biology and Immunology fields focused on the study of viral and cellular oncogenes and their role in cell transformation. My research has been focused on the field of HPV-associated cervical cancer, looking at the humoral immune response as a source of biomarkers for early detection of women at risk to develop cervical cancer. I had graduated students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the Cell Biology, Immunology, and Epidemiology fields. Published more than 40 articles and 10 book chapters with more than 1500 citations, and participated in more than 200 international congresses.
