I started teaching at the university of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 1995. During this time I have been involved in teaching Genetics (compulsory) and Cytogenetics and Human Genetics (optional) in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, and currently I am a lecturer at the Faculty of Science and Technology teaching Human genetics and Genomics in the degree of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. I am the director of the Master in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine at UPV/EHU. I obtained my PhD in 1999 with a study on "Genetic characterisation of the potato cyst nematode". I did my postdoctoral work at the Netherlands Proteomic Centre, where I specialised in proteomic analysis applied to cell proliferation and differentiation processes. My research is linked to the research line of Dr. Ana Zubiaga, which is mainly focused on the genetic regulation of the cell cycle and tumour development. I have also participated in other research lines related to the analysis of genotoxicity.
