Biography

Born in Madrid (Spain) in 1993. Graduated in Veterinary Medicine from the Complutense University of Madrid in 2018 and Ph.D. from the University of Córdoba in February 2022 (qualified cum laude). In 2018 I was hired with the 2014-2020 Youth Guarantee program of the European Social Fund in the Department of Comparative Anatomy and Pathological Anatomy and Toxicology of the University of Córdoba, collaborating in the research of the research group AGR137: Animal Pathology and developing my Doctoral Thesis related to the immunopathogenesis of the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV).

Since July 2019, I have been hired by the same department collaborating on different national and regional research projects and contracts with different companies, related to the immune response and the pathogenesis of animal diseases.

Author and co-author of 13 publications in scientific journals, being the first author in 5 of them. In addition, we publish the results of our investigations on different web pages and informative journals. I have participated in various national and international conferences. In 2019, I did a 4-month research stay at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Budapest, which allowed me to obtain my Ph.D. with International Mention, acquire new pathology knowledge, and improve my English level. Since 2018, I have carried out teaching functions in the department where I am hired, teaching practices in the subject "Systematic Anatomy Pathology" and tutoring Final Degree Projects.

In addition, I am a member of the Spanish Society of Veterinary Pathological Anatomy (SEAVP) and a resident of the European College of Veterinary Pathology (ECVP). Since 2019, I have the certificate to handle animals used, raised, and supplied for experimentation and other scientific purposes from the Junta de Andalusia.

I am currently a beneficiary of the Margarita Salas contract from the Universities Ministry of Spain.
