Curriculum Vitae
After her bachelor degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of the Basque Country, Spain, in 2017 Ana moved to Barcelona, where she received her Master degree in Genetics and Genomics for her thesis on the evolution of the GAL gene regulatory pathway in yeasts. Ana’s main scientific interests are genetics, microbiology and evolution, which led her to the IMPRS and to Tal Dagan’s lab in 2019, where she studied plasmid evolution from the plasmid perspective, focusing on the segregation of the plasmid copies during cell division for her doctorate until November 2022. Ana is currently wrapping up in the Dagan lab. Since January 2023 Ana is a postdoc in Marco Fumasoni’s lab Genome Maintenance and Evolution at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) in Portugal.
