I hold a Degree in Veterinary Medicine (2003) and a PhD from the University of Zaragoza (2008). I began my research career in the Department of Animal Production and Food Science (Milk Proteins Group) through a collaboration grant and a predoctoral fellowship. My PhD thesis, entitled “Effect of thermal treatments on the biological properties of recombinant human lactoferrin compared with human and bovine milk lactoferrin”, included an international research stay at King’s College London, leading to the award of the PhD degree with European mention.
My postdoctoral activity has been carried out continuously in national and international public research institutions and in the biotechnology sector. At CerTest Biotec, I contributed to the development of lateral flow assays for diagnostic applications in human and animal health. Between 2009 and 2011, I held a postdoctoral position at the Aragón Health Sciences Institute and the Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (Zaragoza), where my research focused on the evaluation of compounds affecting cell viability, resulting in a patent application in 2011. Subsequently, at the University of Limerick (Ireland), my research addressed the characterization and biological activity of whey protein hydrolysates.
Since 2013, I have carried out R&D activities at the biotechnology company OPERON S.A., focusing on the development and production of monoclonal antibodies for in vitro diagnostic applications. Since 2024, I have held a position as Senior Research Technician at the Aragón Agrifood Research and Technology Centre (CITA). In parallel, I have been involved in university teaching since 2015.
As a result of my research activity, I have published 22 scientific articles, 14 of them as first author, and have contributed 25 communications to national and international conferences. My research interests focus on milk proteins and their bioactive hydrolysates, the valorization of agri-food by-products, and the development of diagnostic tools applied to human and animal health and the food industry.
