I am a biologist specialized in immunogenetics. My line of research is focused on the analysis of genetic data of pediatric patients with immunodeficiencies. The aim of my research is to expand the knowledge about immunodeficiencies and to explore new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

I studied a BSc in Human Biology (2011-2015) and a MSc in Clinical Analysis (2015-2016) at Pompeu Fabra University. I did the master's thesis at Uppsala University (Sweden). After that, I stayed at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology in Barcelona, ​​where I specialized in the bioinformatics analysis of genomic data.

In 2017 I started my doctoral thesis at the Genomics Core Facility of Pompeu Fabra University, working on the genetic analysis of data from various sequencing technologies and collaborating with different national and international hospitals and research teams. In this line, in 2018 I did a training stay at Radboud University (Netherlands) to enhance my expertise on the interpretation of genomic analysis from a clinical point of view.

In 2021, I defended my doctoral thesis on the different genetic mechanisms underlying immunodeficiency from research, bioinformatics, and clinical points of view. After that, I joined the Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Immunodeficiencies Unit as a postdoctoral researcher.

The new technology allows more sensitive detection of scleroderma patients' autoantibodies, which are related to the severity and progression of the disease.

A study from the Vall d’Hebron Campus demonstrates that the Ex Vivo C5b-9 deposition test is useful for monitoring the activity of the complement system (CS) in patients with aHUS or transplant-associated TMA.

The results show that, in some patients with mutations in the X chromosome, the healthy gene is inactivated and the mutated gene manifests itself, which favors the onset of the disease.
