I finished my degree in Biology at the University of Barcelona (Spain) in February 2003, and followed this with PhD studies in the group of metabolic encephalopathy, led by Professor Joan Cordoba, which was awarded in March 2011. My research interests during the PhD were focused on the study of the neuronal function in different liver failure animal models.
From September 2003 to January 2004 I had the opportunity to work in close collaboration with the Gastroenterology Group of the Germans Trias y Pujol Hospital (Badalona, Spain), under the supervision of Dr Ramón Bartolí and Dr. Josep Mañè. During this period I gained expertise in the induction of cirrhosis in animal models and worked with IL-10 knockout mice in models of inflammatory intestinal diseases.
In February 2004, I worked in the neuroscience laboratory in Hospital Saint-Luc (Montreal, Canada), led by Dr. Roger Butterworth, where I learned the portacaval anastomosis surgical technique in rats for the development of hepatic encephalopathy in animal models.
In September 2012, I was awarded with Dame Sheila Sherlock EASL Post-Doctoral Fellowship to develop a new project at the University College of London (UCL) wit Prof. Rajiv Jalan. During this post-doc experience I developed new skills in molecular biology working in the activated senescence pathways in the brain from liver disease animal models.
In 2013 I started a new research line as a Post-doc and now as a Faculty at the Center for Fetal and Placental Research at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) studying the effect of spina bifida and hydrocephalus on the central nervous and possible therapies.
During my training process from 2003 till now, I established relationship with several scientists around the world and I published in top journals with high impact factor.
