Group leader
  • mihernandez@ub.edu

I am a Ramon y Cajal researcher and group leader at the Biochemistry and Molecular Biomedicine Department at the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Institute of Biomedicine from the UB. My research interests focus on inter-organelle metabolism and the effects of the menstrual cycle in metabolic diseases.

Dr Iliana López-Soldado

Postdoctoral researcher
  • ilopez-soldado@ub.edu

I have been working in diabetes and metabolism for many years. Currently, I am interested in studying the alterations in lipid metabolism associated with type 2 diabetes.

Inmaculada Martínez

Ph.D. student
  • imartiru19@alumnes.ub.edu

I studied Biology at  University of Málaga and a Master’s degree in Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Barcelona, Spain. Currently, I am doing my Ph.D. focused on studying metabolic changes during the different stages of the menstrual cycle.

Raúl Ventura

Ph.D. student
  • rventusa9@alumnes.ub.edu

I studied Biomedical Sciences and a Master’s degree in Advanced Microbiology at the University of Barcelona. Now, I am doing my Ph.D. based on the study of the non-mitochondrial role of Mfn2 in males and females.

Ayda Roudi

Ph.D. student
  • aroudira200@alumnes.ub.edu

I completed my BA in Biology, and Master of Science in Embryology from Kharazmi University of Iran. I worked on torsion detorsion injuries of the testis and ovarian in adult rats with a focus on oxidative stress. I also had the experience of working in an infertility laboratory. I am currently a Ph.D. student in biomedicine at the University of Barcelona.

Damián Antonio Antelo

MSc student
  • dantelce17@alumnes.ub.edu

I graduated in Biochemisty at the University of Barcelona, where I got inspired to focus my career as a researcher in cancer and metabolic diseases. I am currently doing an MSc in translational biomedicine, specializing in cancer.

Irene García Cidraque

(Technician in training)

I am currently training as a laboratory technician and pathologic anatomy technician and doing my internship at the Hernández Lab.

Sabina Cisa Wieczorek

(Visiting Ph.D. student)

I’m graduated in Biotechnology and Biochemistry and I have a Master’s degree in Biomedicine from Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. Currently, I’m finishing my Ph.D. focused in metabolic reprogramming of c-KIT D816V mutation and WT1 overexpression in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Laura Martínez Rojas

MSc Student
  • imartiro63@alumnes.ub.edu

I studied Biology at the University of Barcelona. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Biomedicine, which integrates my two main areas of interest, metabolism and endocrinology.

Izan Cabrerizo Ibañez

(Undergraduate student)
  • icabreib7@alumnes.ub.edu

I am studying Biochemistry at the University of Barcelona and working on my final project to achieve one of my targets in life: get to know the metabolic network and understand how proteins interact in their most complex reactions.
