I am the Communications and Digital Platforms Associate at FEBS, and work on platforms such as the FEBS Network and FEBS website. Previously I managed the grant programmes of a number of UK research charities, mainly in the field of cancer, as well as supported the fundraising at those organisations. I also developed e-learning resources at the Institute of Cancer Research. I have a BSc in Biochemistry and an MSc in Nutrition. After years in London I have now moved back to Spain.
