I have a degree in Biology from the University of Barcelona (2005) and a Master’s Degree in Biological Anthropology (Univ. Toulouse III). My PhD focused on the study of two Native American populations in Bolivia. Afterwards, I did a Master’s Degree in Bioinformatics, where I searched for signatures of positive selection in the human lineage in the Evolutionary Genomics Group of the IMIM (PRBB, Barcelona). I conducted a postdoctorate at the IBB-Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona (2012-2014), working on a project focused on human polymorphic investments. I joined the group of human evolutionary genetics (HUMEVOL) of CIBIO, in Porto, Portugal (2014-2024), to study populations from different African regions (Angola, Mozambique, S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe), addressing questions about the population history of these regions, as well as analyzing the oral microbiome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2024 I have been a lecturer at the Biological Anthropology Unit UAB. My research focuses on studying different aspects of human genetic variability. I am particularly interested in reconstructing the history of populations and investigating how they have adapted to new environments to understand what factors influence the oral microbiome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
