I joined the CCR lab in August 2022 as a postdoc to study centriole biogenesis in human cells. I am particularly interested in understanding how centrioles assemble de novo under certain conditions and which are the spatial and temporal cues regulating this process, which might be related with supernumerary centriole formation and cancer. Previously, my research projects were focused on the strategies used by bacterial pathogens to manipulate host cells and causes diseases.
