Profesora Ayudante Doctora. Departamento de Biología Celular, Genética y Fisiología, Universidad de Málaga. Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red en Enfermedades Neurodegenerativas (CIBERNED). Instituto de Investigación Biomédica de Málaga (IBIMA), Universidad de Málaga
En 2005 me uní al grupo de investigación de la Dra. Gutiérrez, como alumna interna, en el Departamento de Biología Celular de la Universidad de Málaga (UMA), perteneciendo al CTS-950 de la Junta de Andalucía (NeuroAD), al CIBER de enfermedades neurodegenerativas (CIBERNED) y al Instituto de investigación biomédica de Málaga (IBIMA).
En 2009 obtuve la Licenciatura en Biología consiguiendo el premio extraordinario de licenciatura de la Facultad de Ciencias (UMA) y el primer premio de los premios nacionales a la excelencia en el rendimiento académico universitario (Ministerio de Educación). En octubre de 2010 conseguí una beca predoctoral FPU (Ministerio de Educación) para la realización de mi Tesis doctoral y en 2015 obtuve el título de doctor con mención internacional por la UMA. Mi tesis doctoral trató sobre la caracterización de modelos transgénicos de la enfermedad de Alzheimer para la búsqueda de biomarcadores de la enfermedad. Fruto de uno de los trabajos publicados de mi tesis recibí el áccesit a los IX Premios de investigación de la Fundación General de la UMA.
En 2016 empecé mi etapa postdoctoral con un contrato en el Institute for memory impairments and neurological disorders de la Universidad de California (Irvine, EEUU), donde centré mi investigación en el impacto de enfermedades comórbidas (diabetes y obesidad) sobre la enfermedad de Alzheimer. En noviembre de 2019 me incorporé al Departamento de Biología Celular de la UMA como profesora sustituta interina donde en enero de 2021 conseguí un contrato como profesora ayudante doctora.
