He dedicat més de 25 anys a la recerca científica, treballant en institucions de prestigi nacional i internacional com el Consell Superior d’Investigacions Científiques (CSIC), la Cornell University (EUA) i la University of Western Australia, entre d’altres.

Aquesta trajectòria m’ha permès aprofundir en camps com la genètica molecular, la biotecnologia, la nutrició i la salut, sempre amb una mirada orientada a la prevenció i al benestar.

La meva inquietud com a científica ha estat sempre la mateixa:

com podem mantenir la salut física i cognitiva al llarg del temps?

Amb els anys, he après que la ciència pot ser una eina poderosa si sabem traduir el coneixement en accions útils i accessibles. Per això, he volgut unir la recerca amb la divulgació, portant la ciència del laboratori a la vida quotidiana.

Publicacion científiques:

Autora de més de 25 publicacions científiques en revistes internacionals d’alt impacte, he contribuït a aprofundir en la comprensió dels mecanismes moleculars que connecten la genètica, la nutrició i la salut.

Les meves investigacions, publicades en revistes de referència com Plant Physiology, Microbiome, BMJ Open Respiratory Research o Frontiers in Microbiology, reflecteixen una trajectòria guiada per un mateix propòsit: posar el coneixement científic al servei de la salut i el benestar de les persones.
