My interest in science motivated my studies in Biotechnology (Bachelor; Universitat de Barcelona) and Genetics and Genomics (Master; Universitat de Barcelona). During my career, I have always been under constant training. Apart from the official Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I have attended numerous courses from the most prestigious Universities of the world ( MIT, Stanford, Harvard), to learn advanced techniques in R and Python coding, targetted bioinformatic techniques to develop transcriptomic and genomic analytic pipelines, and artificial intelligence and big data.

I am a dedicated biomedical researcher with a strong academic background and hands-on experience in cutting-edge research. Throughout my career, I have been involved in innovative projects within the field of engineering, genetic diagnosis, hereditary metabolic disorders, neuromuscular diseases, and neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental conditions, honing my skills in advanced technical methodologies and developing a keen ability to analyze and solve complex problems critically. My passion for the scientific field increases daily, and I am a member of the "Assiciació de Biotecnòlegs de Catalunya" (ABSTEC), which provides inscriptions to national congresses. In 2023, I won the ENGIHACK hackathon organized by the Association of Engineers of Catalunya. 

During the 2022-2023 academic year, I worked at The University of Manchester | Faculty of Biology, Medicine & Health | Division of Neuroscience under Dr. Jaleel Ahmed Miyan's supervision. There, I had the opportunity to join an international research team, which broadened my perspective and helped me understand science from diverse cultural and interdisciplinary viewpoints. I also learned essential techniques that included liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, western blotting, dot blotting, and tissue immunofluorescence staining techniques. During my academic year in Manchester, I was awarded an Erasmus grant, and we published a Scientific Paper with my results ( https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms251810205). During the 2023-2024 academic year, I worked at Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS), and Universitat de Barcelona, Facultat de Medicina i Ciències de la Salut, Departament de Medicina under Dr. Glòria Garrabou, Francesc Josep García, and Mariona Guitart's supervision. Here, I developed a transcriptomic analytical pipeline to characterize the transcriptome of Intrauterine Growth-Restricted (IUGR) newborns, their mothers, and an IUGR-validated rabbit model. Such a pipeline was also used to analyze data from other projects studying Kearns Sayre Syndrome and Inclusion Body Myositis. During this year, I was able to take advantage of the courses and constant formation I was provided, and I learned different bioinformatic techniques that allowed me to develop my work and design bioinformatic tools and pipelines for my future PhD. During my academic year in Barcelona, I was awarded a "Colaboración" grant from the Spanish Government, which helped to finance my residency. During this year, we also published one scientific paper ( https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms25158418), participated in 7 works presented at national/international congresses (European Society for Clinical Investigation, Mitochondrial Medicine, and MetNet International Meeting), and attended the official rare diseases clinical program of Hospital Clínic de Barcelona (Programa Clínic de Enfermedades Minoritarias: De los aspectos básicos a las unidades expertas). 

My objective is to take advantage of my passion for science, biomedical research, and bioinformatics to develop new bioinformatics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and multi-omic pipelines. With such resources, I aim to contribute to therapeutic research and early diagnosis of rare diseases.
