He has been trained in molecular cancer research and chromatin biology at several institutions that include the Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry, the University of Oxford and the Center of Genomic Regulation. In 2009 he has combined the two fields to start their own lab at the IMPPC, a small institute embedded in the biomedical research Campus Can Ruti located in the oustkirts of Barcelona, Spain. By joining the Josep Carreras Institute in Leukemia Research on the same campus at the beginning of 2015 he has also started new lines of research focusing on the hematopoietic stem cell defects known as myelodysplastic syndromes and the blood cancer myeloid leukemia.
