I completed a 5-year Bachelor's Degree in Biochemistry from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Spain. Since 2008, I have been doing my PhD in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Spain, as well as researching in the "Molecular Neuroprotection Group" in the National Hospital for Paraplegics with Dr. Rodrigo Martínez Maza. Since 2012, I have been finishing my thesis without funding due to government cuts in scientific research.
