Originally, I'm from Spain, but I have lived in the US for more than 17 years. I hold a BS (Licenciatura) in Biological Sciences from the University Complutense of Madrid and a PhD in Cell Biology from Georgetown University, Washinton DC. After earning my doctorate, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Cancer (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) at Bethesda, Maryland and later at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. After that, I moved back to Spain, where I have been working both in academia and as a researcher at the University, hospitals and other scientific institutions.
