Research associate (Biological sciences)

NMNH - Smithsonian Institution

I am a research associate at the IZ Dept. of the NMNH by day and a board member of ECUSA-NYC (www.ecusa.es) by night. My research is mainly focused on marine sponges, using high-throughput sequencing to understand the changes at a gene expression level that they undergo during its life cycle or under new environmental conditions due to climate change. I am a passionate and proud advocate for Women in Science and also a dancer.
