Biography:

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.
