Doctorate     Structural, Cell and Molecular Biology
I got my PhD in Cell Biology and along the years I have had experience working with parasitic protozoa and more recently with Ovarian cancer. My actual interests are the study of Entamoeba and Leishmania species and also, in Ovarian Cancer, we are identifying molecules that have an importaant role in cancer development and also that could become possible biomarkers for diagnostic and pronostic purposes.
