Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR), Spain
I got my Bachelor’s
Degree in Biology in 1996 at the UB, Spain. I obtained my PhD in Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology at the UAB in 2001, Spain. After my PhD I accepted a
postdoctoral position for 7 years in Prof. Hammond laboratory first at the LRCC
in the UWO (Canada) and later on at the CFRI in the UBC (Canada) where I worked
on the molecular mechanisms regulating hepatic SHBG production in several human
SHBG transgenic mice. In 2009 I obtained a principal investigator position at
the Diabetes and Metabolism Department at the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute
in Barcelona, Spain. For the last ten years I have developed several projects
of the Spanish Research Council and published the results in more than 20
papers as a corresponding author, filed several patents and created a spin-off
company.
