Beatriz became a biotechnologist at the University of Zaragoza. Next, she studied a Master's degree in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine at the University of Cantabria. At the moment, She is performing her PhD at Ignacio Varela's lab about the role of chromatin remodelling complexes in cancer development.
