Short biography

I am a Biologist and obtained my PhD in 1990 in Genetics (Universidad Complutense, Madrid). After that I moved to the USA and France during three years to carry out post doctoral studies, specializing in Bayesian Statistics applied to Animal Breeding and Quantitative Genetics. I worked at the Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentaria (IRTA) from 1993 - 1999 and at INRA (Toulouse, France) from 1999 til 2003, when I became an ICREA Research Professor. I am currently based at Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG) on UAB campus. From 2022 to 2024 I was on leave working as Quantitative Geneticist for Corteva Agriscience, one of the largest plant breeding companies.
