MSci, MSc in Industrial, Environmental, and Food Biotechnology,
I graduated from Universidad de Sevilla (Spain) with a BSc in Biology in 2011. During this time, I had the opportunity to spend the last year of my undergraduate studies at the Universidade de Coimbra (Portugal), where I got in contact for the first time with new scientific methods in Biotechnology, Food Control, and Bioinformatics. After this experience I enrolled in an MSc in Industrial, Environmental and Food Biotechnology at Universidad Pablo de Olavide (Spain). I spent the second year of my MSc at the University of Warwick (UK) where I carried out research on the “Effects of a Bacillus subtilis mutants diet in Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan” at Dr Andre Pires da Silva laboratory.I am particulary interested in industrial applications of biology, bioreactors, biofuels, and synthetic biology. Outside academia, I like chess, hiking, travelling, gardening and going to music festivals.
