Head of the Cell signalling & Genome stability group at Heidelberg University (until 2026) and Ikerbasque Research Professor at Maria Goyri Biotechnology institute (UPV/EHU)
Research line:
We study how our cells communicate to build tissues and protect their genetic blueprints, as well as how their misregulation contributes to organ ageing and disease, including cancer. We integrate cutting edge live cell imaging, single-cell OMICs, and genome editing techniques with detailed molecular analyses in 2D/3D stem cell models of human development, organoids, and mouse modelsHella Bühler Preis 2021 for “outstanding work in cancer research”, Cancer Research UK Career development award 2017 (Declined), DAAD European Witness appointment in 2017
Previous research experience at Heidelberg University (Germany, 2017 - present), and German Cancer Research Center – DKFZ (Germany, 2009 -2017)
Doctor in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (2008) from University of the Basque Country (Spain)
