Biography
I obtained a BSc in Biology in 1996. I went on to obtain a PhD in Genetics in 2002, working on the genetic causes of deafness under the supervision of Dr.Estivill. I did a postdoctoral stay at Duke University's Center for Human Genetic, under the supervision of Dr. Pericak-Vance, working in the genetics of autistic disorder. Since then, I came back to Barcelona, where I have worked on new sources of genetic variation, such as CNVs and epigenetics, and their relation to Mendelian and complex diseases. Among others, I have studied the genetic susceptibility to Fibromyalgia; the involvement of methylation changes in Alzheimer disease; CNV discovery from next generation sequencing data; application of exome sequencing to Intellectual disability and Mendelian disorders; or the genetics of Sezary Syndrome. Currently, I am a professor at the Department of Genetics, Microbiology and Statistics of the University of Barcelona, where I conduct my research projects. I am especially interested in the identification of genetic factors determining outcome after Stroke, following up our results for novel candidate genes in intellectual disability, integrating different -omics in the analysis of Sézary syndrome, and identifying genetic susceptibility factors for obsessive compulsive disorder.
