(IIBM-CSIC-UAM)
Madrid
I have joined the imAIgene-lab as part of the CSIC Momentum Program. My project is "Exploring tumor heterogeneity with morphokinetic analysis: tools for live imaging". During the project, we aim to develop easy-to-use automated tools for processing and analyzing time-lapse microscopy data to investigate how cell migration and chromosomal instability contribute to tumor heterogeneity, aggressiveness, and resistance to therapy.

I had the opportunity to join the VIOBIO Lab research team at the Institute of Optics in Madrid, where I worked on developing innovative methods to characterize scleral tissue (the white part of the eye). My research focused on utilizing advanced imaging and diagnostic technologies.
This work was part of my thesis, titled "Scleral Biomechanics and Myopia Development & Control", aiming to deepen our understanding of myopia progression and potential therapeutic strategies.
Master in Physics of Condensed Matter and Biological Systems
Specialization: Biophysics

As part of my Master's program, I worked as an intern in the Macromolecules Structure Department at the National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB - CSIC). My research focused on understanding the interactions between proteins and cell membranes.
Key contributions:
🔹 Developed and implemented a stochastic simulation method to model reaction-diffusion processes.
🔹 Simulated molecular interactions between antibodies and virions, improving insights into immune response mechanisms.
This project provided valuable experience in computational modeling and molecular biophysics, contributing to a deeper understanding of biological interactions at the nanoscale.
Master in Bioengineering

As part of my Master's program, I was part of the Traitement et Interprétation des Images (TII) research team at Télécom ParisTech, contributing to a collaborative project with Kremlin-Bicêtre Hospital focused on the quantitative analysis of brain pathologies using MRI. As part of this project, a MATLAB interface had been developed for the semi-automatic segmentation of newborn brain images.
This project was conducted under the supervision of Prof. Isabelle Bloch, contributing to advancements in medical image processing for neonatal brain studies
