I am searching the synergy between wet lab and Bioinformatics. I ask (and try to solve) evolutionary, epigenetic and genomic questions.

This is a very personal interview for the Newspaper ABC by Jesús Álvarez. To me, it is super important to motivate first-gen university students to pursue degrees, especially students from the South of Spain.
Some videos are also available.
Really fun interview!
I always watched CanalSur when I was a kid...
Here, I defended public education as a social ladder and shared whether I plan to return to Spain in the future.
My corner of the web where I dive into the fascinating world of bioinformatics!

Winning the 'la Caixa' Foundation Fellowship was an incredible honor, as the program is highly competitive, with over 1,000 applicants. The fellowship not only funds my PhD studies at the University of Cambridge but is also awarded by none other than the King of Spain! It has given me a platform to further my research, develop professionally, and connect with leading scientists in my field.
Here is my "la Caixa" Fellow profile.
The Open Bioinformatics Foundation Fellowship enabled me to attend the 1st SEBIBC Congress in Valencia.
Here is the post I wrote for them.
A fascinating problem in genetics: centromeres, the chromosome regions responsible for ensuring proper segregation during cell division, evolve rapidly in sequence despite their highly conserved function.
This paradox challenges our understanding of evolutionary biology because essential structures like centromeres are expected to remain stable over tim e. My PhD project aims to explore this paradox mainly in the plant species Arabidopsis thaliana, investigating how genetic and epigenetic factors contribute to centromere evolution while maintaining critical chromosome stability.
On the right, some note-taking slides. I'm starting to take notes using slides (perfect for visual people like me!). This video gave me the idea.
This journey has been and is being possible thanks to:
Many thanks to the media that shared a bit of me and this journey:
