I obtained my undergraduate studies in Biology at the University of Barcelona, specialising in Fundamental and Systems Biology. In 2009 I completed a PhD at the Complex Systems Lab (UPF) under the supervision of Ricard V. Solé. Then I took 4 postdocs at the Institute for Molecular and Cell Plant Biology (CSIC-UPV, València), the David. J. Gladstone Institutes (UCSF, US), the Complex Systems Lab, and the CRM. In 2019 I gained a Ramon y Cajal contract in Mathematics and became a group leader in the Mathematical and Computational Biology group with ICREA Prof. Tomás Alarcón. I am also an external professor at the Dept. of Mathematics at the UAB and at the Universitat de Valencia, where I am lecturing master classes.
