I graduated in Physics (M.Sc. Fundamental Physics) in Madrid. In addition, I got a M.Sc. degree as Computer Analyst. During my Ph.D. thesis (Physics, Madrid), I researched on pattern formation, molecular motors, interfacial dynamics, and phase transitions.

Afterwards, I moved to the University of California San Diego (Dept. of Chem. and Biochem. and the Institute for Nonlinear Science) as a postdoc (Prof. Lindenberg’s group) and worked on different topics (pattern formation, disease spreading, tumor growth...). Later, I was awarded by La Jolla Interfaces in Science/Centre for Theoretical Biological Physics programme to conduct research on ‘Left-Right Symmetry Breaking in Embryo Development’ at Salk Institute for Biological Studies/UCSD (J.C. Izpisua-Belmonte/K. Lindenberg).

In November 2004 I moved to the Barcelona Science Park as a P.I. (“Ramón y Cajal” fellow). I got tenured but later, in 2014, I accepted a position as Associate Professor at Lehigh (Bioengineering Dpt. and Dpt. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) where I was the founding D.T. & W.E. Schiesser Faculty Fellow. In 2020 I moved to the Institute for Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio) at Valencia/Spain as a tenured scientist/P.I.
