    Collapse overview
    I’m a biomedical scientist passionate about stem cells, epigenetics and cell fate. I obtained my PhD in the Centre for Genomic Regulation (Barcelona), where I studied mechanisms controlling pluripotency acquisition and X-chromosome reactivation during iPSC reprogramming. Currently as a postdoc in UCSF, I am using genome engineering and synthetic biology to create human iPSC-derived immune cells for disease treatment.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
