I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Dr. Extavour laboratory where I study the evolution of gene regulatory networks using insects as experimental models. Prior to joining the Extavour Lab, I obtained my Ph.D. at the Barcelona Institute of Evolutionary Biology in the laboratories of Insect Metamorphosis and Insect Reproduction led by Dr. Xavier Belles and Dr. M. D. Piulachs respectively, followed by a one year postdoc at the Genomics of Gene Expression Laboratory, led by Dr. Ana Conesa, at the University of Florida.
