BSc in Biology at the University of Oviedo (2015-2019). Before finishing my degree I did an Erasmus mobility at the Jagiellonian University (Krakow, Poland), where I took several subjects of the MSc Molecular Biotechnology. Then, I decided to continue my studies in the same field by doing the MSc Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Genetics at the University of A Coruña. Which I ended in October 2020.

At the moment I work as a Researcher for the Protein Design and Engineering Group.
