He received a PhD MEC FPU scholarship and Ph.D. in Physiology from Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO, Seville, 2003), focusing his research on the study of the neural bases of associative motor learning. She was a FIS postdoctoral fellow at UPO and at the Faculty of Medicine of the UCLM (Albacete) where she joined the Regional Center for Biomedical Research (CRIB). In 2005, she moved to University College London where she was the lead author of a pioneering line of research in the field of pain and axonal protein synthesis, including postdoctoral fellow MEC and Honorary Research Fellow. In 2008 he joined the Institute of Neurosciences of Castilla y León (Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Salamanca) with a contract Juan de la Cierva. His research activity has since centered on the study of neuropathological mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD). As a result of this research, she obtained a RAMÓN Y CAJAL contract (2010) to develop a new line of research on the neurophysiological bases of the early stages of AD. Finally, in 2011 he joined the Faculty of Medicine of Ciudad Real, where he is currently Professor Contracted Doctor and responsible for the Teaching Physiology Area. Dr. Jiménez has carried out numerous research stays in national and international centers always financed by competitive calls, has presented her results in more than 50 congresses, obtained numerous assistance aids, and has published articles of high impact research. She has been principal investigator of several projects at international, national and regional level, besides having participated in more than 20 research projects as collaborator.
