I finished my degree in Biology in 2004, I began my doctoral studies in the Agrochemistry and Biochemistry Department obtainingmy doctoral degree in July 2011. During these years I was working in the research group directed by Dra. Mª José Bonete.  I was reseraching the biochemical pathways involved in the nitrogen  metabolism of the halorachaeon Haloferax volcanii and Haloferax mediterraneii. From 2007 to 2016, I combined my pre and postdoctoral studies with a job as biochemist and molecular biologist at Biofuel Systems (BFS), specializing in the mass cultivation of different species of microalgae (Nannochloropsis gaditana, Tetraselmis chuii, Porphyridium cruentum, etc. .) in photobioreactors as well as the extraction of compounds of high added value from each of them. From 2010 to 2019 I have worked as an associate professor in the Department of Agrochemistry and Biochemistry. I currently have a doctor assistant place in this same department and I continue studying the nitrogen metabolism of the halophilic archaeas while I continue collaborating with the world of private enterprise, through specific agreements, with the aim of discovering and develop methodologies to extract compounds of biotechnological interest from phytoplankton.
