I am a Researcher in Biomedicine in the Gastrointestinal and Pancreatic Oncology Team from IDIBAPS-CIBER-Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, Barcelona (Spain), and my research is mainly focused on the study of small non-coding RNAs in digestive cancers, as well as on the use of circulating microRNAs as new biomarkers for colorectal or pancreatic cancer in a translational way. I have a BSc in Biochemistry (1999) and a PhD in Biomedicine (2004) from the University of Barcelona (Spain) and over 25 years of experience in biomedical research. During my degree, I obtained a scholarship from the Ministry of Education (MEC) to collaborate with the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Barcelona. Later, I obtained a predoctoral fellowship (FPU-MEC) to do the PhD at the Faculty of Medicine-Hospital Clínic of Barcelona. In 2004 I obtained a postdoctoral fellowship from the Fondation Recherche Médicale followed by another called Poste vert-INSERM (France). In 2008, after a 3-years-post-doctoral stay in Dr J.Iovanna's lab at the Cancer Research Centre of Marseille (INSERM, France), I joined the Gastrointestinal and Pancreatic Oncology Team led by Dr A.Castells from IDIBAPS-Hospital Clinic of Barcelona-CIBERehd (Spain) as PI, where I lead the study of gene regulation mechanisms involved in colorectal and pancreatic cancer. Throughout my scientific career, I have focused on the study of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in gastrointestinal diseases to discover new therapeutic and diagnostic strategies. Within this topic I have been involved in a broad spectrum of studies from molecular to more clinical ones, using different experimental models such as in vitro cell lines, animal models and human samples. From that moment, I have participated in 36 public and private research projects, leading 17 of them as PI (including one from European Commission Horizon Europe). I have published 65 scientific articles (95% Q1 journals) being first author in 8 and senior author in 16. Moreover, I have presented my research results at more than 150 national and international scientific meetings and I have been invited to give 11 scientific talks in national and international forums. I also have experience in innovation and technology transfer given that I am an inventor in 8 patent applications, some of which are licensed to biotechnology companies to develop them. I have supervised multiple students at various levels, such as 8 PhD (two in progress), 4 MSc and 4 BSc theses. Furthermore, since 2008 and 2011 I annually participate as a teacher in 2 University Masters from the University of Barcelona: Master of Biomedicine and Master of Translational Medicine and, I have been involved so far in 3 COST actions of European Scientific Cooperation such as EuPancreas (BM1204), Transcoloncan (CA17118) and Transpan (CA21116). I have been reviewer of national (29) and international research projects (6) and multiple scientific journals. I have been member of the scientific commitee of several meetings and I have participated in multiple scientific communication activities. Finally, in November 2021 I obtained the Advanced Research Accreditation (Full Professor) from AQU-Government of Catalonia. H-index = 35, Total Citations > 3800 (from Scopus, last update October 2023).
