I was born and grew up in Álora, a small village in Málaga in the south of Spain. After obtaining a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Málaga, I moved to the Institute of Medicinal Chemistry in Madrid where I got my PhD in 2013 working on the stereoselective synthesis and applications of quaternary amino acids. I joined the Chris Hunter´s group in 2013, when the group was based in the University of Sheffield. In September 2014, I moved to the University of Cambridge with the Hunter group, where I am currently working on information molecules. Since May 2015, I am also an Emmanuel College research associate.
