Biography

My research activity begins on 2006 on 'Nutrition Lab’ team (University of Murcia, Spain), where I collaborated in the development of a project first as student, but after I did my Master thesis and PhD thesis. In this period (2006-2015), I was able to set up and develop different techniques for the evaluation of antioxidant, polyphenols and oxidative stress. I finished my PhD in antioxidant and oxidative stress at the University of Murcia (Spain) under the supervision of Prof. Salvador Zamora Navarro. After finish my PhD I started to work as researcher on “Nonspecific immune system of teleost fish” group (University of Murcia, Spain) under the supervision of Prof Maria Angeles Esteban. These period (2015-2017) gave me, not only the opportunity of learn different techniques of molecular biology, cell biology, histology, immunology and cell culture but in addition gave me the chance to connect the knowledge in antioxidants and oxidative stress and stablish new relationships with immune system from fish. I collaborated on 4 projects (3 as a hired), maybe the most important was the European project EPHEMARE, on microplastics that include the challenge of develop new techniques for work with these particles.
In 2017, I obtained a position as a researcher in the Department of Earth and Marine Science (DiSTeM) (University of Palermo, Italy) where I still work with Prof. Concetta M. Messina in the national project CISAS “International centre of advanced study in environment, ecosystem and human health”. These period has provided to me the opportunity of apply my experience on antioxidants and immune system of marine organism on the evaluation of ecotoxicological effects of new emerging contaminants on the marine environment.
In 2019 I returned to Spain and since then, I currently work at the Department of Cell Biology and Histology, University of Murcia. I do research in Toxicology, Immunology, Antioxidants and Molecular Biology in different projects for the research group "Immunobiology for aquaculture".
I have recently been awarded a postdoctoral contract as IP of the project "New Insights in the development of fish fatty liver disease and early warning" of the Marine Science Complementary Programme. ThinkInAzul funded by the European Union NEXT-GENERATION EU., that started on 2023.
