Since I was young I was always fascinated by scientific disciplines especially natural ones. It was a normal path to take a degree in biology were I started to study enzymes, this incredible “micro-machines” that are able to perform extraordinary reactions. But how many of them are out there? Well is what I am pursuing to find out. When not closed in the lab, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially hiking and playing tennis as well as discovering new places and cultures, reading books and listen music.
What would you like to be when you grow up? That is the big question we face when we’re young. I always had it clear that I belonged in the lab. Why? Because I liked microscopes and making “magic potions”. Later, I found the magic in microbiology, where something so small can have such a big impact. The drive to learn and discover is always there, whether I am traveling, talking to my friends and family and why not, relaxing on the beach with a chilled beer in my hand.


I have always considered myself to be a curious person. As a little girl, everything seemed interesting and when I had to choose a career path, it wasn’t that easy. I was torn between microbiology and astronomy, so I made of one of this apparently opposing worlds my job and the other one, my hobby.
Coming Soon
I love solving mathematical and engineering problems, I enjoy those kinds of challenges enormously. I have a background as a chemical engineer that helps the lab to overcome the obstacles offered by microfluidics, a tool we use for the discovery of new enzymes. In addition, I believe that protein engineering is a discipline that is booming and that society needs to achieve a more circular economy.

Since I was young, I’ve been passionate about how science is able to solve complex problems to improve the quality of life generating a positive impact on society. That’s why I decided to pursue a degree in biotechnology, and in recent years, I was focused on enhancing proteins for the synthesis of molecules with pharmaceutical interest.
