Animal Facility
Team Member
I finished my degree in Anatomical Pathology in 2006. In 2008, I started my Master in Molecular Therapies where I studied the role of Transthyretin (TTR) in the peripheral nerve and bone biology in the Nerve Regeneration Group. In 2010, I started my PhD in Biomedical Sciences where the main goal was to characterize genes with unknown function highly expressed in the spinal cord and the dorsal root ganglion. Since 2016, I integrated the Animal Facility to engage the developement of mouse models by CRISPR-Cas9, cryopreservation of mouse embryos and other services provided by the facility.
