Short biography

Graduated in Biology by the University of Barcelona (UB) in 1993, I obtained my PhD in 1998 in the Department of Biomedical Sciences (Faculty of Medicine, UB) supervised by Professor Carlos Enrich. Next, I joined the laboratory of Professor Robert G Parton at the University of Queensland (Australia) as NHMRC Research Officer until 2001. Granted with a Ramón y Cajal contract (2002, MICINN) and recognized by the I3 program (2006, MICINN), I established the "Lipid Trafficking and Disease" group (IDIBAPS). Since 2007, I’m ICREA Research Professor in Fundació Clínic Barcelona-IDIBAPS and since 2011 Assistant Professor in the Dept of Biomedical Sciences (Faculty of Medicine, UB). Today I combine my research in IDIBAPS with teaching in the UB.
