Professor of EUSES – Center attached to the UdG. Doctor in Molecular Biology, Biomedicine and Health. Degree in Human Biology and Master’s Degree in Neuroscience.
During Master’s Degree, she conducted a research internship in the Biomedical Research Institute of Barcelona.
In 2015, she joined the Nutrition, Eumetabolism and Health Group within the Girona Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBGI) to pursue her PhD, funded by Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca and La Marató Foundation of TV3. She fulfilled part of her research at the Minerva Foundation Institute for Medical Research (Helsinki, Finland), funded by short-term fellowship from Biomedical Research Networking Center for Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition. She defended her Doctoral Thesis in 2020 in the University of Girona. Currently, she is a postdoctoral investigator in IDIBGI, combining her research career with teaching activities.
She has actively participated in several national projects and defended her work in both national and international congresses. Her main publications are presented below:
