Carmen R. Beuzón obtained her Ph.D in Biological Sciences at the University of Seville in 1996, under the supervision of Prof. Josep Casadesús studying the regulation of transposition of IS200 in Salmonella typhimurium. She moved to Imperial College London in 1998 with a Long-Term EMBO Fellowship (1998-1999) and remained there with an MRC Contract until 2002, working throughout her entire stay as a Research Associate to Prof. David Holden studying type III secretion regulation and role in pathogenesis in Salmonella typhimurium.
