Sheila is a laboratory technician in Pathology and Cytology. In 2008 she joined the group of Dr. Fernando de la Cruz as a research support technician.
In 2016, she became part of the technical staff of IBBTEC research support for two years, working in the Support Laboratory. Where she was in charge of the preparation of laboratory reagents, culture media, material cleaning and sterilization and other tasks supporting the research of the groups.
After this period, in 2018, Sheila has joined back the Intergenomics group lead by Fernando de la Cruz where she works as laboratory manager, in charge of the general organization of the laboratory, purchases and support for the different research lines of the group.
