Summary
Drug Resistance Group
My research interests centre on molecular mechanisms of resistance to cancer chemotherapy and more in particular on the role of micro RNAs on breast cancer.
Teaching
MRes in Cancer Biology Stream Director
I also supervise several PhD and post-graduate students and collaborate in the Faculty of Medicine undergraduate teaching and tutoring.
Biography
I obtained the degree of Doctor in Biology by the Complutense University (Madrid). After post-doctoral positions at the Pasteur Institute (Paris), King's College (London) and in the biotech industry, I joined Prof. Christopher Higgins' laboratory at the Medical Research Council as a senior research scientist working on drug resistance. I moved to Imperial College in October 2007.
