Biography
Technician in Chemical Analysis, she has worked as investigator assistant in the Department of Cell Biology of the College of Biology in Barcelona (1999-2006). Specialized in cell culture handling, like endothelial cells from umbilical cord, human keratinocytes, isolation of adult stem cell from adipose tissue, as well as other primary culture and stable lines. She performed in vitro assays like proliferation and citotoxicity test, migration assays, blood capillaries formation and cell characterization. Since September 2006, she has been working as a technician at CMRB, and she is excited that her work could contribute one day to the advance of regenerative medicine.
