Biography

I graduated as Agronomical Engineer at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) in 2004. Then I joined the lab of Drs Blázquez and Alabadí (IBMCP, Valencia, Spain), where I studied different molecular mechanisms by which the plant hormone Gibberellins (GAs) interacts with other hormones to control gene expression. Once I defended my PhD in 2011, I did a short postdoc in the Chory lab (The Salk Institute, La Jolla, USA), and then I moved, in 2013, to the Jacobsen lab (UCLA, Los Angeles, US), where I worked on targeted manipulation of DNA methylation in plants and studied mechanistic aspects of the de-novo silencing machinery in plants. At the IBMCP,  my team is interested in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression in plants.
