David graduated in Biochemistry (2020) in Complutense University of Madrid, where he also
studied the master’s degree in Neuroscience (2021), within the specialty of Neurobiology.
During this time, he carried out his Final Degree and Final Master thesis, both focused on the
characterization of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor interactome, at the Biochemistry and
Molecular Biology Department of the Complutense University of Madrid, where he also enjoyed
a Grant for Collaboration in University Departments (2019). At the present, he is member of
Ignacio Varela’s Lab where he is involved in a project aimed at determining the role of SWI/SNF
chromatin remodeling complexes in lung cancer development.
