I graduated as a biologist specialized in molecular biology at the University Autónoma (Madrid, Spain). PhD “cum laude” at the Biotechnology National Centre in Madrid in Prof. Castresana’s group (2012). By following genetic, phenotypic and molecular biology approaches I focussed my research on studying the role of a class of plant lipid derivatives, named as oxylipins, in the immune response triggered by plants after pathogen attack and in the use of these compounds as natural inducers of disease resistance in different plant species. Once I published the results from my thesis, I moved to UK in 2013 to work in the University of Nottingham (UoN) with Prof. Holdsworth in regulation of conditional protein stability by the N-degron pathways during stress response in Arabidopsis and Barley, the fourth larger grain crop globally with a huge relevance as food and malting source. This study has allowed me to extend my knowledge to areas as proteomics or crop physiology. In 2022 I was awarded a Ramón y Cajal contract to continue my work unravelling the mechanisms that control the abundance of defense proteins during the defence response, providing a gateway to protection of crop yields. During my career I visited other labs such as Prof. Schulze-Lefert (Max-Planck), Prof. Gevaert (VIB) or Prof. Flors (UJI) labs to improve my training in chemical genetics, proteomics and metabolomics.
