David studied both Biochemistry and obtained an MSc in Neurobiology at the Complutense University in Madrid. During his last undergraduate years, he collaborated on the study of the implication of purinergic signaling in the regulation of adult neurogenesis at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Veterinary Faculty. After that, he earned an FPI contract from the Spanish Ministry of Science and joined our lab in 2019. He started his PhD investigating the role of different genes regulating the behavior of cortical neural stem cells during embryonic development.
