Biography

I am from Seville, a city in the south of Spain. I started my academic journey at the University of Seville, where I completed a BSc in Biochemistry and a Master's in Molecular Genetics. During this time I was mesmerised by the complexity of life at the molecular level. I am particularly fascinated by the mechanisms Eukaryotic cells use to store their genetic information in the cell nucleus. Throughout my PhD, I seek to understand one of the great marvels of physical chemistry, how our meter-long DNA manages to condense dramatically to fit into the micrometre cell nucleus. This is an open question with huge implications for human health as it regulates how genes work. This question needs the lenses of physical chemistry to be solved. For this reason, the application of chromatin multiscale computational models—able to link the individual nucleosome behaviour to the whole chromatin organization—will help us to understand the basis of chromatin material properties.
