I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Branco Weiss Fellow at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, University of Cambridge.

I work in Prof. Greg Hannon’s laboratory. I also collaborate with Prof. Wolf Reik (Altos Labs Cambridge Institute), Prof. Alexander van Oudenaarden (Hubrecht Institute), and with Dr. John Marioni (EMBL-EBI, CRUK Cambridge Institute, and Genentech).

I earned a BSc degree in Biology at the University of Malaga (Spain), where I briefly worked on Systems Biology in the group of Prof. Juan Antonio Garcia Ranea before joining Prof. Eduardo Rodriguez Bejarano’s laboratory to study plant-geminivirus interactions for my Honours project. I was also a summer undergraduate intern with Dr. Manuel Corpas at the Wellcome Sanger Institute (UK).

I then moved to the Netherlands to complete an MSc degree in Functional Genomics at Wageningen University and Research, working in Prof. Ton Bisseling’s laboratory on epigenetic regulation in Arabidopsis.

After that, I joined Prof. Robin Allshire’s laboratory at the Wellcome Centre for Cell Biology, University of Edinburgh (UK) to pursue my PhD investigating the potential for epimutations to drive environmental adaptation in fission yeast. I was supported by a PhD Scholarship from the Darwin Trust of Edinburgh.
