Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at Heidelberg University, studying the transcription of mammalian placentas at the single-cell level.

I was born in Barcelona, where I studied Genetics and I did my PhD studies in Biomedicine. Specifically, I studied Genomic Imprinting in the human placenta.

Illustration has been an important part of my whole life. During my predoctoral research, I had the opportunity to perform digital drawings which helped us to explain complex biological processes.

In my opinion, illustration is one of the key pillars for scientific communication and the process to simplify a concept in a draw is a great satisfactory challenge.
