Senda Jiménez-delgado

Biography

Senda Jiménez-Delgado obtained her Bachelor degree in Biology from the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) in 2002. That same year, she was admitted to the Molecular Biology PhD program, supported by the FPI fellowship, at UB under the supervision of Dr. Jordi Garcia-Fernández. During her PhD thesis she studied the role of bHLH (basic Helix-loop-Helix transcription factors) during the process of somitogenesis in amphioxus. In 2009 she moved to the Center of Regenerative Medicine in Barcelona (CMR[B]) as a research associate. She was involved in a project focused on the differentiation of cardiomyocytes through the use of iPS technology, where her tasks included mainly those related to molecular biology. One year later Dr. Raya’s laboratory moved to the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), where Senda worked as a research associate responsible for the molecular biology unit. She was also involved in the establishment of transgenic lines pertaining to a zebrafish model in order to study the process of heart regeneration. In 2015 she came back to the CMR[B] with the Raya’s lab, where Senda has continued her work as a research associate.
