Biography

Degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Oviedo (1989-1994). Researcher at the University of Oviedo in the Area of Microbiology in the Faculty of Medicine. There she took the PhD courses of the Functional Biology Programme and began her research first as an Internal Collaborator of the Department, and later with a grant from the Banco Herrero Foundation in a project about Streptomyces growth. In 1998, she was awarded a grant from the Institute of Biotechnology of León (INBIOTEC) which meant that, although she continued working with Streptomyces, she began to develop and train in Molecular Biology techniques. Thus, she ended up developing her Doctoral Thesis -"Cloning and characterisation of the last three genes of the aminoethoxyvinylglycine biosynthesis pathway in Streptomyces sp. 5331"- in this field, between this Institute and the University of León, which granted her another Predoctoral Fellowship between 1999-2002. In 2003 she obtained her first position as a teacher and researcher at the European University Miguel de Cervantes (Valladolid) in the Polytechnic School, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, where she was Associate Professor for eight years. In 2011 there was a turning point in her professional career so that she made the leap from Natural and Experimental Sciences to the Didactics of these. Since then, she has been working as a teacher and researcher at the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the Universitat International de Catalunya, UIC-Barcelona
