After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry at the Complutense University of Madrid (2014-2018), I specialized in Neuroscience. With an MSc in this field, I focused my master’s thesis on investigating dopamine’s effects on the proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocytes at IRYCIS. Afterwards, I continued delving into this area by pursuing my PhD at the International University of Catalonia, where I focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms through which nutrients regulate the traff icking of AMPA receptors from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane. During this period (2019-2023), I conducted a research stay at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, where I learned electrophysiological techniques in mouse brain slices. Specifically, I monitored field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) in the CA1 region of the hippocampus while stimulating the Schaffer collateral fibers.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Laboratory of Neurobiology led by Dr. Carlos Matute. I am particularly interested in studying novel therapies to halt demyelination and promote remyelination in progressive multiple sclerosis
