Silvia is graduated in Food and Science and Technology (2014-2018) from the University of Zaragoza and subsequent obtained the Master’s Degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology in 2020. Simultaneously, she worked since 2017 in a molecular biology laboratory (Alquizvetek S.L.) until September 2021, when she moved to the company Betternostic S.L. until March 2022. In that month, she joined Matxalen Llosa’s group in the Institute of Biomedicine and Biotechnology of Cantabria.
