Biography:
I studied Biology at the University of Seville and did a PhD in the laboratory of Felipe Cortés-Ledesma focused on DNA-damage repair and the role of human DNA topoisomerase II in regulating transcription. Then, I complemented my wet-lab expertise with some computational training. I am passionate about how the stored information in DNA is properly decoded by the transcriptional machinery. Thus, in 2021, I joined the group of Ritwick Sawarkar to keep understanding the mechanisms underlying transcription regulation, combining experimental approaches with genome-wide data analysis and Machine Learning techniques.
Research interests:
My main interest is understanding how a cell controls which genes are expressed.
