The female part from our group have happily participated in the celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science that took place on the 11th of February 2022. On this day, dedicated to celebrate women in science, they joined the CEIP Bertomeu Llorens i Royo (Catarroja) in order to present children the significance of women in research and science and bring closer to them the gender equality concept. They enjoyed a lot and received a lot of feedback from the school!
Our group is constantly expanding and a lot of new members have recently joined our lab. Larisha, Violeta, Eva and Garin will join as Postdoctoral Researchers while Eloy is starting with us the PhD journey. Also, a big group of students started joining us this year to develop their final Master thesis or as part of an internship program. Take a look on the team descriptions for further information.
