Basic & Clinical Researcher. Cardiovascular Sciences. BSc., MSc., MD., PhD

Profile Summary

Expert in clinical and basic research, specialist in cardiology. More than 7 years of experience in conducting research, scientific writing, reviewer at Publons, development of internal and national grant calls. I have devoted myself to the study of cardiovascular health as well as the disease process development (atherosclerosis, stroke and myocardial infarction) with particular emphasis to the molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular immunity and regeneration. I completed my BSc. in Biology at the University of Barcelona. Strengthening my scientific background I completed an MSc. in biotecnology at the University Autonomous of Madrid. For my PhD, I was awarded with Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher fellowship, ITN EU-FP7, to carry out my PhD at Imperial College London. Upon completion of my PhD, the opportunity of becoming a Medical Doctor while carrying out research presented to myself. Consequently, I enrolled into a 4-year Medical program at the Medical University of Silesia in Poland and started a new researcher post at the Biochemistry Department. Since 2019, I am a clinical researcher in the Department of Cardiology at the Barzilai Medical Center. Currently, I hold a more senior responsibilities, including the design and development of research projects, task management, and coordination with the physicians and medical personnel to guarantee adequate patient data acquisition, scientific writing and review, statistical analysis (e.g.: SPSS, GraphPad), manuscript preparation and submission. Overall, I have deepened my basic research training while strengthening my clinical preparation. Purposely, I have acquired a unique ‘translational research profile’ embracing both basic and clinical knowledge in order to understand health to treat diseases. My long-term goal is to establish my own research group in Spain focused on the study of the regenerative capabilities of the human heart. As observed below, every one of my research periods has yielded several publications in the cardiovascular field including scientific articles as principal investigator. ...............................................................................................................................................................................................
