Background in Biochemistry (Bsc in Biochemistry, PhD in Biochemistry in 2001, Universitat de Barcelona). She did her PhD in cell signalling and later switched to gene regulation and epigenetics in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer progression. She is currently leading a group that focuses on the cutting-edge topic of elucidating epigenetic mechanisms in normal and miss-regulated cell behaviour and on discovering drugs that target these mechanisms.
