Universidad de Oviedo

• Spain
• Higher Education
• 700 & Above Employee

• Research Scientist | Data analysis | Scientific illustrator | Science communicator

  • Mar 2014 - Feb 2022

  My experience of more than seven years in the field has allowed me to develop:- Proven ability to handle and analyse large data set as well as to design understanding graphs, infographics and illustrations related to above-mentioned data, which have been published in six peer-reviewed scientific publications.- Effective project management skills and excellent oral communication aptitudes, as evidenced by getting a cum laude distinction for my Doctoral Thesis.- "Physys", the initiative to establish the first University Association of Biologist in Asturias (Spain), focused on introducing Biology and Science to society.

• Postdoctoral fellow | Physiological ageing and Progeria | In vivo mouse models | Experimental design

  • Mar 2014 - Feb 2022

  During my time as Biomedical researcher at University of Oviedo, I managed several projects focused on progeria and physiological ageing, particularly aimed to clarify the regulatory cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic mechanisms that integrate the organismal communication during ageing and disease. This experience has helped me to:- Become forward-thinking and driven person, with strong background using advanced technical skills in Molecular and Cell Biology applied to gain further insight into the Biology of Ageing.- Develop an excellent knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) applied to mouse handling, ensuring animal well-being as well as the accuracy and integrity of the data.- Acquire outstanding project development skills, working with other scientists to design, organize and analyse different experiments and report results.
