Short Bio
Researcher in CSIC organization since 2008. PhD in Biology (Complutense University of Madrid, UCM, 1999), BSc in Biochemistry (UCM, 1997) and Master in Human Nutrition (Rey Juan Carlos University, 1999). Member of the Immunonutrition Group since 1992 and postdoctoral training in molecular biology techniques in Dr. Yaqoob lab at the University of Reading (2001-2002). I have conducted multiple nutritional intervention studies, especially with probiotics and antioxidant-rich plant foods, including also in vitro mechanistic approaches and the intestinal microbiota-immune system interaction. The study of lifestyle risk factors and immunoinflammatory status in adolescents with eating disorders and the elderly is also one main topic throughout my career. I am a member of the International Society for Immunonutrition and associations for the study of probiotics and prebiotics. I am author of more than 70 JCR impact articles and 50 book chapters and I have been leader of competitive projects and research agreements with the industry. My other activities include usual academic collaborations in Master Programs, evaluations in scientific committees and journals and three PhD thesis supervisions, among others.
