Brief bio: I am passionate about molecular biology because it can unravel different processes. My first research was trying to explain how an atypical thioredoxin from cyanobacteria works.
I did my masters in Molecular Genetics, Biotechnology and Clinical Research in Seville. During this time, I gained multidisciplinary training in molecular biology, chemistry, physics and plant cell biology.
Nowadays, I am completing a Doctorate in Biotechnology at the Institute of Plant Biochemistry and Photosynthesis where I study the role of redox regulation of autophagy in the green model alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
