Professor of the Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering at the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia.
She has been working in biomedical research studying diseases at the molecular level. She did the Ph.D. in Dr. Jordi Ordoñez-Llanos laboratory at the Biochemistry Department of the Hospital Sant Pau in Barcelona studding a modified lipoprotein implicated in atherosclerosis disease.
Afterwards, she focused her research on the study of the malaria disease in different laboratories. She did a postdoctoral stage at Weill Cornell Medical College (New York, USA) where she studied translational regulation of the malaria parasite. Then, she worked at the Malaria Epigenetics group in ISGlobal (Barcelona) led by Dr. Alfred Cortés, where they redefined the initial steps of the sexual development in the life cycle of malaria parasites. She also worked at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL-Barcelona) in Dr. Maria Bernabeu group studding the mechanisms that lead to vascular dysfunction in cerebral malaria by developing new in vitro models of the human blood-brain barrier.
Ph.D in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (UAB, 2009) and Degree in Biochemistry (UAB, 1999).
