I completed my undergraduate and master studies in biology focusing on understand the mechanisms driving morphogenesis and how eptihelial cells self-organise during development in Drosophila. During these years, I contributed to research on how specific geometrical shapes enable more stable 3D packing of epithelial tissues.
Later, I obtained my PhD from the University of Seville, where I investigated the dynamics of cell packing in the sea star embryos. My research explored how cell proliferation and cell density influence the reorganization of these embryonic cells. During this time, I developed expertise in quantitative data and image analysis methods.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Cell Death and Epithelial Homeostasis group.
