I am from Barcelona (Spain) were I studied medicine. Later I did a master\u00b4s degree in Biomedicine in Uppsala (Sweden). At the DRFZ my project is focussed on memory B cell survival and their contribution to secondary immune reactions. In my free time, I like to train aerial sports, sing with my choir and meet with friends.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n          \n                  <\/div>\n\n      <\/div><!-- container-double -->\n    <\/div><!-- container -->\n\n  <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n  <section id=\"block_c4ceaacc94e9271fbae59b122d7b03a5\" class=\"section links-list  alignwide \">\n    <div class=\"container container--center\">\n      \n      <div class=\"links-list__items-wrap\">\n        \n<div class=\"links-list__items links-list__items--row \">\n      <div class=\"links-list__item  launimation slideBottom\">\n      \n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leibniz-gemeinschaft.de\/\/karriere\/karriere-in-der-wissenschaft\/promotion-in-der-leibniz-gemeinschaft\/leibniz-phd-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"h6 links-list__item-title\">Leibniz PhD network<\/a>\n\n      \n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leibniz-gemeinschaft.de\/\/karriere\/karriere-in-der-wissenschaft\/promotion-in-der-leibniz-gemeinschaft\/leibniz-phd-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"links-list__item-link\">\n        <span class=\"button button--arrow button--arrow-nw button--arrow-link\" ><\/span>\n      <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"links-list__item  launimation slideBottom\">\n      \n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/leibnizphdnetwork\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"h6 links-list__item-title\">Facebook PhD Network<\/a>\n\n      \n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/leibnizphdnetwork\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"links-list__item-link\">\n        <span class=\"button button--arrow button--arrow-nw button--arrow-link\" ><\/span>\n      <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"links-list__item  launimation slideBottom\">\n      \n      <a href=\"https:\/\/leibniz-phd.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"h6 links-list__item-title\">Blog des Leibniz PhD networks<\/a>\n\n      \n      <a href=\"https:\/\/leibniz-phd.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"links-list__item-link\">\n        <span class=\"button button--arrow button--arrow-nw button--arrow-link\" ><\/span>\n      <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"links-list__item  launimation slideBottom\">\n      \n      <a href=\"http:\/\/n2-network.net\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"h6 links-list__item-title\">N\u00b2 Network of Doctoral Researcher <\/a>\n\n      \n      <a href=\"http:\/\/n2-network.net\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"links-list__item-link\">\n        <span class=\"button button--arrow button--arrow-nw button--arrow-link\" ><\/span>\n      <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n  <section id=\"events\"\n    class=\"section image-text  image-text--reversed alignwide bg bg--full-width bg--aqua-100 toc-item\">\n\n    <div class=\"container container--center\">\n      \n      \n      <div class=\"image-text__wrapper\">\n\n                  <div class=\"image-text__media launimation slideBottom\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 990px) 100vw, 624px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25_04_01_PhDandPostdocMeetandGreet-150x113.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25_04_01_PhDandPostdocMeetandGreet-1024x768.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25_04_01_PhDandPostdocMeetandGreet-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25_04_01_PhDandPostdocMeetandGreet-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25_04_01_PhDandPostdocMeetandGreet-1366x1025.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25_04_01_PhDandPostdocMeetandGreet-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25_04_01_PhDandPostdocMeetandGreet-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/25_04_01_PhDandPostdocMeetandGreet-550x413.jpg 550w\" class=\"image-text__image image--cover\" alt=\"PhD and Postdoc Meet and Greet\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"768\">          <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"image-text__text\">\n          \n                      <h2              class=\"image-text__heading launimation slideBottom\">First Doctoral Students and Post Doc Meet &amp; Greet<\/h2>\n          \n                      <div class=\"image-text__desc wysiwyg launimation slideBottom\">\n              <p>It was no April Fool&#8217;s joke: on April 1, 2025, the doctoral students and postdocs of the DRFZ met with the Executive Board to exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere.
