Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from the University of Alicante (2010–2014) and Master’s Degree in Research in Molecular, Cellular and Genetic Biology from the University of Valencia. During his academic training, he gained experience in several laboratories, developing skills in molecular biology techniques and in the handling of cell lines in culture. His doctoral thesis was carried out in the Biotechnology Pest Control (CBP) group at the University of Valencia, focusing on the study of resistance mechanisms to pyrethroids in predatory mites, as well as on the application of genetic editing techniques in insects.
He subsequently worked for a year and a half at the Institute for Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio), within the Entomoplast project, which focused on the use of insect larvae as a biotechnological tool for recycling multilayer packaging. Since the end of 2023, he has been part of the Biotechnology Pest Control (CBP) group at the University of Valencia once again. His current research activity focuses on evaluating the susceptibility of various pest species to different pesticide treatments and on characterizing the molecular mechanisms involved in resistance.
