Passionate scientist in the field of biomedicine, focused on discovering innovative solutions to improve human health. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry and a Master’s Degree in Chemistry (Professional Profile), both from the University of Salamanca. I spent two years at the Institute of Polymer Science and Technology (ICTP), part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid, where I worked on the nanostructuring of polymers and composite materials for biomedical applications. My experience includes the preparation and characterization of metallic nanomolds through anodization, the fabrication of polymeric nanostructures and nanofilms, and their functionalization using layer-by-layer techniques or magnetic nanoparticles. I also gained extensive expertise in the characterization of biomaterials using different techniques.

I later completed a PhD in Biomedical Research (FPI fellowship), awarded Cum Laude, entitled “Development of novel wound dressings based on elastin-like recombinamers for skin regeneration” at the Bioforge Group (University of Valladolid, Spain). My work focused on designing protein-based membranes and hydrogels for skin regeneration in chronic wounds and severe burns, involving comprehensive chemical, physical, mechanical, and biological characterization of 3D matrices (in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models). During my PhD, I completed a research stay at the Center for Molecular Medicine – Karolinska Institute (Sweden), where I applied biomaterials to skin regeneration using epithelial cell cultures, human skin ex vivo models, and mouse in vivo assays.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Maruan Hijazi’s group (University of Salamanca - Neuroscience Institute of Castilla y León), contributing to a project on brain metastasis, where I investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms within the tumour microenvironment to support the development of more effective therapeutic strategies.
