I am genuinely interested in solving problems and asking complex questions. This has drawn me to specialise in molecular neurobiology, with a particular interest in neuroepigenetic regulation of the heathy and diseased brain. I have been interested in brain physiology since my BSc studies at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF, Barcelona, Spain), and specifically in neurodegeneration during my BSc and MSc placements under the supervision of Dr Francisco J Muñoz (UPF). For my PhD, I joined Prof Carlos G Dotti’s laboratory at the Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (Madrid, Spain), where I became interested in epigenetic regulation of genes in the healthy ageing brain and in neurodegeneration. For my post-doc, I joined Prof Patricia C Salinas’ laboratory at University College London (London, United Kingdom), where I applied my interest for neuroepigenetics into studying the deregulation of Wnt signalling components in Alzheimer’s disease. To conduct my postdoctoral research, I obtained the Maire-Curie fellowship and a research grant from Alzheimer’s Research UK.
