My scientific career began with my initial BSc in Biology (University of Barcelona, Spain, 2007). I successfully converted from a MSc in Neuroscience (Universidad de Barcelona 2009) to a Cum Laude   PhD with International honour in Biomedicine under supervision of Dr Eduardo Tizzano in   Hospital de la Santa Creu y Sant Pau (Universidad de   Barcelona, 2012). I performed my PhD program with a predoctoral fellowship from ISCIII ( PFIS 09/00023) within the projects   PI 08- 0729 and PI 11-2606. I have also collaborated with Dr. Josep Esquerda from the Experimental Medicine Department of   University of Lleida, where I have performed part of my PhD. Furthermore I have been part as a teacher of the dissemination sessions “Application of new technologies to genotypic diagnosis, 2011” in Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau. In 2012 I moved to   Royal Holloway University of London with Dr. Rafael Yáñez collaborating within the project “Induced pluripotent stem cells from Spinal Muscular Atrophy patients”. In 2014, I moved from   Barcelona to Madrid where I start my postdoctoral training in autoimmune diseases in the laboratory of Dr Francisco Sánchez-Madrid of the Department of Immunology at Instituto Investigación Sanitaria la Princesa in the study of immunoregulatory molecules and miRNAs in different immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) within the projects PIE13/00041 and PI13/01414. In 2016 I joined Dr. Marazuela’s lab, clinical coordinator of the Endocrinology Unit and professor at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. In all this period I have participated in the study of the role of T regulatory, Th17 lymphocytes in patients with AITD. Then, I have specialized in the study of microRNAs as new biomarkers and in identifying new susceptibility genes and pathways in the context of human AITD and neuroendocrine tumours. Together with Dr Marazuela, we provide a valuable input on the study of AITD and endocrine related diseases given our complementary and outstanding expertise both from the basic and the clinical side. In 2019 I received the national prize “Best research publication in the Thyroid area” by the Spanish Society of Endocrinology (SEEN). In the last years I have actively collaborated in the development, writing and coordination of the last research projects and human research fellows of the group (  PI16/02091, 116.765,00€;  TIRONET2CM. B2017/BMD3724, 745.884,08 €;  PEJ15/BIO/TL-0617, 38.000€,   PEJD-2017/BMD- 3517, 35.000€,  PEJD-2018-PRE/BMD-8584, 35.000€,   PEJD-2019-PRE/BMD-14876 35.000€ ,  PEJ-2020-AI_BMD-18292, 45.000€ and PFIS   FI20/0003  5). In 2019 I obtained my first grant as Co- PI ( PI19/00584, 208.120,00€), which was the starting point to set up and develop a more independent line of research. In 2022 I received muy first grant as PI ( PI22/01404, 147.620 €), the long-term goal of this research is to use integrative multi-omic profiles from patients to understand the pathogenic interplay between the different cell subsets of a tissue and across humans to personalize health treatment and the search of novel therapeutic targets.

My scientific output includes 29 publications in peer-reviewed SCI indexed journals, 605 citations by 462 documents and an h-index of 16, according to WOS in first quartile and first decile journals with a high impact factor both in clinical and basic research areas.  Two articles are currently in preparation, both as a corresponding author and one patent registered as main inventor. This diagnostic biomarker has received the 2022 entrepreneurship award from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). At present, I am also participating in the Healthstart program from Comunidad de Madrid which encourages the creation of technological start-ups in the spanish health system. In this regard, I have been awarded with 30.000 € by FIPSE (Fundación para la innovación y la prospectiva en la salud en España) to finance the feasibility studies of health Innovations. I have also reviewed several research manuscripts for different scientific journals and I have participated in 31 presentations in international and national conferences. I have been accredited as  Profesor Contratado Doctor by la  Agencia Nacional de Evaluación de la Calidad y Acreditación ( ANECA).  In the last years, I have directed the work of four MD students and four undergraduate students, a research technician, a predoctoral fellowship, one postdoctoral researcher and several visiting researchers. I am currently directing  three PhD students and a master student. I have also reviewed several research articles, and I have been part of the reviewer process to the final bachelor’s thesis award from Colegio Oficial De Biologos Comunidad Madrid (COBCM) 2019 and 2022. In 2019 I received the national prize “Best research publication in the Thyroid area” by the Spanish Society of Endocrinology (SEEN). In 2022 I have received the VI research fellowship from SENDIMAD.
