In 2015 I started my studies in Biomedical Engineering at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. During my degree, I had the opportunity to do a 6-month internship at the University of Sydney, an internship at the Health Research Institute of the Hospital Clínico San Carlos (IdIISC), and my End-of-Degree project at the Center of Biomedical Technology (CTB-UPM). Right after I graduated, I spent one month at the National Center of Biotechnology with a CSIC JAE-Intro Scholarship.
After all my stays in different labs working on different research topics, I decided I wanted to focus my scientific career on the biomedicine field and enrolled in a Master’s degree in Molecular and Integrative Biology (UIMP-CSIC). I did my end-of Master-thesis on vascular physiology at the Margarita Salas Center for Biological Research (CIB).
Then, I joined the CCCB Lab as a Research Assistant, with a Garantía Juvenil contract, to work on a project depicting how cell cycle and mitotic genes interfere in angiogenesis and tumor vascularization, to evaluate novel therapeutic strategies based on co-targeting angiogenesis and mitosis regulators.
I like very much the technical challenges, and biological questions this project is bringing to me, thus I am thrilled working on it!
