Academic background

  • Grado en Enfermería
    University Alicante (01/06/2010)
  • Doctorado en Neurociencias
    Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche (07/03/2005)
  • Licenciatura en Ciencias Biológicas
    University Alicante (01/06/1995)

I hold a degree in Biology from the University of Alicante. I then began my doctoral studies in Neurosciences at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche, where I completed my thesis on the influence of thyroid hormones on the development of the central nervous system, obtaining my doctorate in 2005. Subsequently, in 2010, I graduated in Nursing from the University of Alicante. My desire to continue my education led me to pursue a master's degree in Medicine and Reproductive Genetics in collaboration with the Miguel Hernández University and the Vistahermosa Clinic in Alicante. Currently, I am continuing my education in Human Anatomy, as well as in Kinanthropometry and Body Composition.

My research career has focused on neuroendocrinology, specifically on the role of thyroid hormones and the importance of iodine in the diet for the development and functioning of the central nervous system. Currently, I am a researcher affiliated with the CSIC and collaborate on research projects with the Sols-Morreale Biomedical Research Institute (IIBM (CSIC-UAM)) in Madrid. My research line focuses on the pathophysiology of Allan-Herndon-Dudley Syndrome (AHDS), caused by mutations in the SLC16A2 gene (Xq13.2), which encodes the monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8), responsible for the transport of the thyroid hormone T3. This syndrome manifests with X-linked intellectual disability and neuromuscular impairments, including infant hypotonia, muscular hypoplasia, spastic paraparesis, and severe intellectual disability. In recent years, I have also explored research in nutrition and applied anthropometry in sports and health, participating in research projects and supervising undergraduate theses. These experiences have resulted in numerous publications in prestigious scientific journals and book chapters.

I began my teaching career at the University of Alicante in 2011 as an associate professor while working as a researcher at the Miguel Hernández University. Since then, I have taught subjects such as "Human Anatomy," "Anatomy for Physical Activity and Exercise," and "Kinanthropometry and Body Composition" in the degrees of Nursing, Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, and Human Nutrition and Dietetics. Since 2016, I have coordinated the teaching of these subjects. Starting from the academic year 2023-2024, I am the responsible professor and instructor for "General Anatomy and Human Embryology" in the new Medicine degree program. I also teach and coordinate the "Clinical Audiology" course in the Master's program in Biomedicine at the University of Alicante.

Currently, I am a permanent faculty member in the Department of Optics, Pharmacology, and Anatomy, and I coordinated the first year of the Nursing degree from the academic year 2019-20 to 2023-2024.
