I am a postdoctoral researcher at Internacional Health Unit of the Microbiology group at Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR).

I am graduated in Biology at the University of Girona. I extended my studies with a master's degree in microbiology at the Autonomous University of Madrid. In 2018 I started my research career, which culminated with the title of Doctor in Microbiology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2022.
My research career is focused on the study of different parasites that cause various diseases in humans, mainly Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania spp.
