Research Interests: Her work focuses on molecular mechanisms in mammalian fertilization, particularly the localization and function of sperm proteins like IZUMO1 and TMEM95 during hyaluronic acid selection, capacitation, and acrosome reaction. She also explores applications of high-resolution microscopy and immunofluorescence techniques, with a minor interest in pedagogical approaches for Cell Biology education.

Publications & Projects: She has co-authored 2 journal articles (2022–2023) and presented 5 conference papers (2024–2025). Her research is supported by grants from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (e.g., "Ayudas para contratos predoctorales") and regional bodies like the Conselleria de Educación, Universidades y Empleo. She collaborates on projects such as "Proteínas de unión espermáticas y NEH-11 characterization" and public outreach initiatives like "FERIA DE LA CIENCIA SAXING".

Professional Context: While currently holding a predoctoral research position, there is no evidence of teaching, advising, or formal leadership roles. Her work aligns with cellular and reproductive biology, with a growing emphasis on science communication and classroom dynamics for theoretical knowledge acquisition.
