Postdoc
North adoptee missing the Mediterranean. I obtained my PhD in Neuroscience in 2018 and joined NCDL in fall 2021. Since then, I have worked on the role of inhibitory interneurons in ALS and a potential gene therapy for the disease. Committed to the right balance between experimental needs and the best ethical approach towards research animals, I specially enjoy behavioral assessment and surgery. Out of the lab, I play drums, lift heavy things and watch horror movies.

I am a PhD fellow in the NCDL studying spinal interneuron dysfunction in ALS pathophysiology, in collaboration with the Kiehn Lab in Copenhagen. While the first part of my project uncovered the early loss of inhibitory pre-motor inputs in ALS and its consequences for locomotor phenotype, I am currently focused on describing the temporal dynamics of spinal interneuron dysregulation in the disease from a transcriptomic point of view. For this purpose, I make use of several multiplexing techniques, including RNAscope HiPlexUp in situ hybridization, spatial transcriptomics, and bioinformatic analysis. Originally from Spain and with a background in Biomedicine from University of Southern Denmark, I first started working under Ilary’s supervision in 2019, even before the NCDL was born! Outside the lab, I am an escape room and board game addict, lover of all things fantasy, who enjoys escaping home to the Mediterranean weather and family every chance I get.

Master student
I have a BSc in Cognitive Science and I’m studying a MSc in Neuroscience, writing my thesis about rescueing the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) phenotype by Esyt1 systemic overexpression upon AAV-PHP.eB virus intravenous delivery. I have a keen interest in ALS and its relationship with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), as well as decision neuroscience and especially decision impairments in disease. I am also passionate about crafting, including knitting, sewing, embroidery, as well as painting.
