Professional/research experience |
|
June 2008 - September 2011: |
University of Malaga (Spain) Department of Cell Biology, Genetics and Physiology: Research focused on the evolution of genes involved in cell proliferation and differentiation and their hypothetical interactions using computational biology tools. I started as a collaborator student, then it was the subject of my dissertation. I collected the genomic, mRNA and amino acidic sequences of more than 400 basic-Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) genes from databases for more than 30 animal species to carry out an evolutionary study. Then I collected expression data to carry out a comparative study in order to relate the evolutionary process to possible changes in the expression pattern. Inference of possible interactions between Id proteins and other proteins was also carried out. This is a research in collaboration with the Networking Research Centre on Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN) for a better understanding of the bone development. |
November 2005 - September 2007: |
University of Malaga (Spain) Department of Cell Biology, Genetics and Physiology: Comparative neurobiology research using immunohistochemical techniques. As a collaborator student I had to sacrifice the animals at different ages, carry out a perfusion fixation, extract the brain tissue, carry out an immersion fixation, cut the brain tissues, stain them and finally mount the cuts on microscope slides. |
June 2003 - September 2003: |
University of Malaga (Spain) Department of Cell Biology, Genetics and Physiology: Research focused on congenital hydrocephalus using immunohistochemical techniques. As a collaborator student I had to cut fixed brain tissues and stain the cuts for principal researcher. |
