During my scientific career as a Life Scientist I have participated in diverse research topics through many years in different labs and countries. My areas of expertise are molecular biology and microbial biotechnology. I have also experience in biochemistry, biofuels, protein engineering, polymer chemistry and biophysics. Right now I'm the laboratory manager at Nolla Antimicrobial.
I possess technical, business and people understanding. I'm always open to new challenges. As a generalist I could contribute to strengthen your company in areas like research and development (R&D), project management, product development, quality control, customer experience...
Nolla Antimicrobial owns a disruptive technology based on a silver polymer to kill germs effectively and safely. My role is to improve the current products, keep the quality control and help develop new applications, while keeping the lab running efficiently.
Entrepreneurial adventure where I combine the Results coaching structure with my scientific background and brain training techniques to help individuals and businesses to level-up their potential. I combine brain-based coaching with modern meditation techniques and biohacking to reduce stress and optimise performance.
I participated in projects targeting to learn about the biophysical and structural properties of several proteins with biomedical applications. I worked also with inteins, which are autocatalytic protein splicing elements with biotechnological applications. Research supervisor: Dr. Hideo Iwai.
I developed new molecular tools and engineered cyanobacteria as biotechnological hosts for the production of carbon-based biofuels. I participated in the EU FP7 collaborative project DirectFuel. Research supervisors: Prof. Eva-Mari Aro, Dr. Patrik R. Jones.
My PhD topic was the study of the cytochromes attached to cyanobacterial Photosystem II. Half of the time I was working in Seville, where I performed mainly the biophysics experiments (redox potentiometry, thermoluminescence.). Research supervisor: Dr. José María Ortega.
In France I performed the construction of cytochrome mutants, the PSII protein complex purification, and part of the biophysical characterization (PAM fluorescence) in vitro and in vivo. I kept the collection of 20+ mutant cyanobacteria. Supervisor: Dr. Diana Kirilovsky.
Research on the molecular basis of the legume-Rhizobium symbiosis within the PETRI project Validation by means of Field Assays of new Chickpea Varieties Associated with Multifunctional Biofertilizers, in Andalucía and Castilla y León.

At Slush 2018 I was part of the Leadership Team of a new concept called OASIS, a place to calm your mind in the middle of all the hectic activity. I was responsible of the training and guidance of 10 volunteers.
During 2016 I joined SeaLife Helsinki as a volunteer aquarist once per week. I was in charge of performing the water analysis (nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, heavy metals) plus routine tasks for the maintenance of the exhibition.
