My research career began as a BcS and later as a Ph.D. student in the field of neuroscience. I was granted with a scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Education as a BSc, and with a FPU fellowship as a Ph.D. Student and a grant from the Ministry of Health (BEFI) under the mentoring of Dr. FJ Díez Guerra (CBMSO-CSIC, Madrid), where I studied elements of the cytoskeleton and intracellular signaling in neurons (Mol Cell Neurosci 2000). Later, I moved to the laboratory of Dr. MO de Landázuri, where I worked in the field of macrophage response to hypoxia, in the context of a RETICs project of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (J Immunol 2009). After this stay, I joined the group of Dr. Sánchez Madrid, where I developed a line of research in advanced microscopy to study the T cell biology (Blood 2005,2009,2010;J Immunol 2006,2015;MBC 2008,2015;J Cell Biol 2008;EMBO J 2011,2012;J Cell Sci 2016,2017;Nat Commun 2013,2016,2018;Plos Biol 2017), addressing the activation of T cells by dendritic cells (J Immunol 2006;Blood 2009;J Cell Sci 2016). My postdoctoral career thus consists of different stages; a first one at Princesa Hospital and a later one at Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), in the context of an ERC Adv Grant (GENTRIS 294330). I am now an independent researcher at the Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Instituto Princesa (IISIP). I have already established collaborations with Dr. G Menasché (Institut Curie, Paris), Dr. P Roda (UCM, Madrid), and Dr. I Vernos (CRG, Barcelona) to study the interplay of actin and tubulin skeletons and mitochondrial functionality with T cell receptor (J Cell Sci 2016;Front Immunol 2018;Sci Adv 2020). I have implemented new advanced proteomics methodologies in collaboration with Dr. J Vázquez (CNIC;J Cell Biol 2008;J Cell Sci 2016;Nat Commun 2013,2016,2018;Sci Adv 2020) and advanced microscopy with live cells (confocal and TIRF microscopies). I am deeply involved in developing cryocorrelative microscopy (cryoCM) with Soft-X-rays (SXT) and electron microscopies with the groups of Dr. JM Valpuesta (CNB-CSIC, Madrid) and Dr. E Pereira (Alba Synchrotron, UAB, Barcelona). I participated as co-PI to implement these techniques by raising competitive international funds for the use of SXT cryoCM at Bessy II (Helmhozt Zentrum, Berlin) and Alba Synchrotrons (UAB, Barcelona), with a published article in Sci Adv 2020 and 1 invited article in Trends Immunol 2021, where I am corresponding author. I have authored 21 articles in the last 5 years; 12 as Senior and/or Corresponding Author (7). I have been qualified as “Profesor Contratado Doctor” (PCD) in the area of Immunology (ANECA; Committee of Experimental Sciences) and recognized as I3 Researcher in the Biosciences and Technology area by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
