Personal Info

Bio
I got my BSc in Pharmacy at the University of Seville (Spain) in 2007. I started my PhD in the Institute of Biomedicine of Seville in 2008 where I studied the consequences of the mismatch in minor histocompatibility antigens after allogeneic stem-cell transplantation. After I got my PhD certificate in 2013, I joined the lab of Dr Susanne Gabrielsson at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm (Sweden) as postdoc where I was studying the use of exosomes as cancer vehicles vaccines but also as biomarkers for different pulmonary diseases. After 2 years I accepted a position as Research associate at King’s College London where Prof Juraj Ivanyi was my supervisor during the three years I spent in his group trying to find a better vaccine against Tuberculosis disease. At the beginning of 2018, I joined the School of Pharmacy at University College London as Associate Lecturer to be part of the scientific knowledge transference to MSc students.
