Profile Summary

Ph.D. in Life Sciences with more than 15 years’ experience in Biomedical research in both academia and industry –graduated in Biochemistry and Molecular biology Professional English - Spanish freelance translator specialising in biomedical and scientific-related documents with more than 6 years’ experience –born and educated in Spain My scientific background includes: • Ph.D. in life sciences from the University of Munich • Strong research background in molecular mechanisms underlying innate immune/ autoinflammatory responses • Strong publication record with 24 peer-reviewed original research publications in high impact journals, including Nature Communications, Gut, Gastroenterology, and Cell. • Fluent in English and German, with extensive research experience in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland –Spanish native speaker. Since July 2014 I have been working at the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology of the University Hospital Zurich, where in my position as a postdoctoral researcher/group leader I am managing several projects on molecular mechanisms underlying the development of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. During my career, I aimed to broaden my experience in diverse biological systems associated with autoimmune/chronic inflammatory diseases. My previous position was with the Sanford-Medical Research Institute, La Jolla, CA, where I led a research team working on the identification of therapeutic targets for the treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Prior to that, I worked in the Respiratory Disease Area at Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research at Horsham, United Kingdom, where I enjoyed the opportunity to acquire a thorough understanding of the drug discovery process in the pharmaceutical industry. Original research articles: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/browse/collection/50864718/?sort=date&direction=descending My translator profile includes: Over 6 years’ experience translating documents for medical and ecological organizations and websites. I hold the Cambridge’s Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) and the Diploma in Translation from the Chartered Institute of Linguists (DipTransIoLET). My experience includes: Translating medicine leaflets (QRDs) and RedLine projects for the European Medicines Agency (EMA), medical documentation including clinical description, etiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of rare genetic diseases. My areas of expertise include medicine, pharmaceutics, biology, nutrition, genetics, ecology, marine sciences, molecular biology, cellular biology, chemistry, and biochemistry.
