I graduated in Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Salamanca and I completed a PhD programme at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) in Madrid in the Molecular Cytogenetics Group where I developed different research projects in haematological malignancies. Since August 2015, I work as a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Haemato-Oncology at Barts Cancer Institute (BCI) of the Queen Mary University of London, identifying and studying the genetic events that lead to the development of familial acute myeloid leukaemia.
I have been a member of SRUK since I arrived to London, actively participating in various events and being part of the Organizing Committee for the 4th International Symposium SRUK/CERU and the SRUK Mentoring Programme.

I graduated in Biochemistry (Hons) at the Complutense University of Madrid. Then I was awarded a PhD Fellowship by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Spanish Ministry of Health) to carry out my PhD studies under the supervision of Prof María Antonia Lizarbe and Dr Javier Turnay (Dept. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I, Complutense University of Madrid). I obtained my PhD degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Doctor Europeus Mention) for studying the role of 4F2hc in tumorigenesis and the effect on butyrate and bile acids on human colon adenocarcinoma cells. During my PhD, I also did a 6-month internship in Dr Robert Clarke’s group at The University of Manchester (United Kingdom), where I became interested in breast cancer stem cells. I moved to Manchester in August 2013, and since then I have held a postdoctoral position in Dr Robert Clarke’s group. In January 2014, I was awarded a 2-year Postdoctoral Fellowship by the Alfonso Martín Escudero Foundation (Spanish private non-profit institution). More recently, I have been able to secure some funding from Rosetrees Trust and Breast Cancer Now to continue my studies about breast cancer dormancy. In Jan 2015, I joined SRUK/CERU and recently I became part of the Press Office of the Northwest Constituency (February 2016).

I got my BSc in Biology by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 2008. Some months later, I started my PhD in Genetics and Cell Biology in the same University, having my PhD dissertation in March 2014. Since then, I am living abroad. I performed a first Postdoc at Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm, Sweden) and I moved to London in October 2015, where I joined University College London (UCL) as a Research Associate, thanks to a Ramón Areces Foundation Postdoctoral fellowship. Currently, I continue working at UCL developing novel light-based therapies to treat cancer. My research interests include cancer, personalized medicine and diagnostics, among others.
