Could you explain what are you currently investigating?What I do is to investigate endometrial cancer. On the one hand we try to improve the diagnosis and on the other, we also work in the treatments, that is, we try to improve patient survival.Tell us what you usually do on a common day working in your lab.When I arrive at the laboratory, I usually open the inbox email, answer all the emails and I check the work of the girls in my care: what they have to do, what results there are planning to achieve, planning experiments, helping their to make the experiments in case of using new techniques on if they need help. After I alternate my work whit their work: I make my experiments, write projects, articles, reviews … read bibliography, attend meetings… And the same all the working day. The truth is that the day at the laboratory never goes to the end. What do you like most about your work?From the human point of view, I like it because as a biologist it’s a way by means of I can help to the people’s health, without being a doctor. From the professional point of view, I like it because I’m a very dynamic person. Research provides a big personal improvement because you will always have a result that will drive you to a new idea… And the least?The system. It’s exhausting having to be requesting grades and suffer to maintain your own salary. We have to be showing our capacity constantly Your greatest satisfaction as a researcher was...An obvious satisfaction was when we did a diagnostic kit that was launch onto the market. You are a little piece of an immense chain! You know that all your work ends in a commercial product that improves patients’ diagnosis. I will always been excited knowing I’ve participated in that. How do you feel about a major scientific discovery?Curiosity, and sometimes a little bit of critical thinking. Often in the media they have a poor scientific knowledge and they publish experiments exaggerating the impact and may exist 50 articles like this. It is true the proverb that says: patience is the mother of science?Yes, of course! It’s not only to wait, but to learn to not frustrate you. In times of crisis, why is it necessary to maintain and encourage investment in biomedical research?It is like if you ask me about not to invest in healthcare. As if someone tells us that in 10 years we have to renounce to discoveries like penicillin, antibiotics or vaccines and that all have been postponed. That hasn’t any sense! Give us an example in your research group that shows that quality research has direct applications to the health of patients.For example the case of the kit I’ve talked about. Our work is totally focused to the application to the patient. We are in contact whit the hospital, and it’s there where we go to look for our samples. In our group we have gynecologists and urologist with whom we meet weekly. Why do you like working at VHIR?I like to work at VHIR because I’m part of a group with a large prestige in which I can do the research I like to do. Another interesting thing about VHIR is that we are next to the Hospital.
