About me

Biologist from Alcalá with a master's degree in Microbiology from the UCM. During my undergraduate stage my passion for microorganisms began. This is how I started working as a student at the Center for Astrobiology (INTA-CSIC). Currently I have started my first year of PhD at the University of Alcalá in association with the Center for Astrobiology, where I will study the Diversity and metabolism of cyanobacteria in acidic environments. As a child, I was fascinated by the idea of ​​discovering life on other planets, studying what it would be like and what conditions it would inhabit. That dream made a strong impression on me, wanting to know what the first form of life was like here on Earth, and how it evolved to the present day. Under these premises my interest in microbiology and research was born.
