    • Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona

      2011 - 2012
      Master's degree Applied Microbiology 8.73/10

      Activities and Societies: Received a Ph.D. fellowship from Autonomous University of Barcelona. The master's degree in Applied Microbiology provides advanced knowledge in applied microbiology. The syllabus gives an integrated view of molecular and environmental microbiology applications and further training in clinical or biotechnological areas.Projects:- Vaccine production based on Salmonella mutants with alterations in the regulatory systems for iron uptake.

    • Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona

      2007 - 2011
      Licentiate degree Biology, specialized in Microbiololgy 8,40/10

      Activities and Societies: Collaboration scholarship in the Molecular Microbiology group (2010-2011) During the collaboration scholarship I participated in the construction of Salmonella mutants in order to obtain strains with alterations in the regulatory systems of iron uptake.
