  Postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics MBB. I was developing computational tools and methods based on machine learning and network science to elucidate cell type-specific mechanisms of human diseases (i.e. type 2 diabetes and schizophrenia) using high-throughput biological data, i.e. single-cell transcriptomes (Smart-Seq2 and 10x Genomics methods) Postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics MBB.

  • Jun 2008 - Mar 2016

  Ph.D. at the laboratory of Prof. Rafael Fernández-Chacón at University of Seville and Institute of Biomedicine of Seville (Seville, Spain). During my Ph.D., I studied the function of synapses. In this study, I used fluorescence imaging and diverse genetically encoded optical probes such as synaptopHluorin, a pH sensitive GFP to monitor synaptic exo- and endocytosis and syGCaMP3, a cytosolic presynaptic calcium sensor to monitor fluorescence changes associated to synaptic calcium dynamics. Also I worked on the study of synaptic connectivity in hippocampal neural circuits using patch-clamp electrophysiology. Show less

  I spent six months (July-September 2012 and June-August 2013) at the laboratory of Prof. Bernardo Sabatini at the Neurobiology Department of Harvard Medical School (Boston MA, USA) where I was getting familiar with complex optical systems working on the design and implementation of a superresolution STED microscope. Funded by CIBERNED and EMBO short-term fellowship.
