I am a joined PhD student working in the laboratories of Dr. Aurélien Roux and Dr. Jean Gruenberg since September 2013. Before coming to the University of Geneva I did my undergraduate and master’s degrees in Biochemistry at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Here, I worked in the Cell Biology department with Dr. María Paz Marzolo, and my research was focused on the study of the endocytic protein trafficking of receptors belonging to the low-density lipoprotein receptor family.
I am currently studying the role of the ESCRT proteins in the endosomal pathway of mammalian cells.
