I hold a degree in Nanotechnology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and a PhD in Bioengineering from Newcastle University. As part of my project management training, I also hold the PRINCE2 and Lean Six Sigma certifications. In recent years, I have actively participated in the writing and justification of both international and national research proposals, including EIC, AEI and Horizon Europe calls, among others. I have also collaborated in the coordination and follow-up of interdisciplinary projects involving clinical and research centres, fostering the creation of synergies and the transfer of knowledge.
