Biography

Degree in Chemistry at the University of Barcelona (1998). PhD in science at the UPC (2004). Postdoc at the UPC and the IBMB-CSIC (2005-2007). Both, PhD and postdoc were focused on structural biology. In 2007 I started working at the pharmaceutical company Crystax, where I used synchrotron light for the design and discovery of new drugs. In 2010, Crystax was absorbed by Oryzon Genomics, also a pharmaceutical company, where I worked until 2013. Since 2014 I have been in the ALBA Synchrotron industrial office where we provide a comprehensive service to private companies that want to use synchrotron light for their R&D.
