I studied psychology at Valencia University, where as an undergraduates student, I collaborated at Miñarro’s and Rodriguez lab in the study of addiction and avoidance behavior. During my PhD. I joined  Prof O’Mara’s group at the Psychology Department (Trinity College Dublin)  were strongly interested in the study of episodic and spatial memory I focused my research in understanding  spatial memory and the properties of place cells, becoming skilled in animal behavior and  single neuron activity recording in freely moving animals. In addition,  I obtained a grant as teaching assistant and late funding from the Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions. As junior post-doc I joined Sanchez-Vives lab at the IDIBAPS in Barcelona, where I set up freely moving recordings and place cell studies. During this period, I worked within an international consortium, acquired intense  international experience,  I produced 7 publications (2 as first author), participated in international meetings and mentored PhD students. Later,  I joined  de la Prida’s lab at The Instituto Cajal in Madrid in 2009. This was a lab expert in oscillatory activity alterations related to memory distortion. During this stage of my career I worked within the European project MemStick working with European collaborators such as Carmen Sandi  publishing 5 papers, 2 as first author in The Journal of Neuroscience on the mechanisms of episodic memory. To better understand the role of interneurons in spatial memory, I joined Prof Oscar Marin & Dr Beatriz Rico's (Instituto de Neurociencias (IN)) as senior postdoc in 2012.  The combination of their cutting-edge genetic tools and my background in neuropsychology of diseases, expertise in behavior and electrophysiology led me to  describe the role of different subpopulations of interneurons in spatial memory and schizophrenia publishing a first author paper in Nature Neurosciences and a paper as co-author in Neuron. In  2015, I joined Borrell's lab at the Instituto de Neurociencias, in the context of an ERC grant to further investigate the altered mechanisms of memory in epilepsy.  I have continued to investigate the spatial properties of place cells in the subiculum,  publishing a paper as corresponding author in Neurosciences.  In summary, I have produced  19 scientific publications, 7 as first author and one as corresponding author, receiving 427 quotes and H-index of 9 (Google Scholar). At the moment I co-direct a PhD thesis, I have participated in numerous international meetings; I was Teaching Assistant at TCD and I collaborated in undergraduate and post-graduate programs at the  UMH and UEM and the University of Sevilla. I have been selected as  external evaluator expert by the Wales Government, I have participated in the  evaluation panel of a thesis, I am  reviewer in Neurosciences and participated in the organization of an international symposium. I am also a  scientific consultant for Neuronexus LTD a leading company in the electrophysiology and behavioural studies. More recently I have started a very promising collaboration with the Pharma Industry which will bust the understanding of  microcircuits in memory and its relationship to schizophrenia. I was recently recruited by the UCH CEU to consolidate my research line to understand the circuits involved in complex cognitive processes such as episodic memory or executive function and how these are altered in pathologies such as epilepsy, schizophrenia or autism.
