CSIC Tenured Scientist

I did my PhD in Biology in Prof. Alfredo Ruiz lab at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). After a first postdoctoral stay at UAB, I moved to Stanford University to work with Prof. Dmitri Petrov. While at Stanford, I was first a Fulbright Postdoctoral fellow and then a Research Associate at the Department of Biology. In 2010, I was awarded a Ramon y Cajal fellowship to join the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE) in Barcelona. Since March 2017, I am a CSIC Tenured Scientist at IBE.
Our lab focuses on understanding how organisms adapt to their environments. We combine -omics approaches with detailed molecular and phenotypic analyses to get a comprehensive picture of adaptation.
