Mar Albà 's evolutionary genomics LAB


PhD student

Born in Hamburg, Germany. I am conducting my doctorate under the supervision of Mar Albà and Jana Selent within the field of cancer immunotherapy. At the same time as my PhD, I study my second master in Bioinformatics at the Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona. My Bachelor of Science in Biomedicine and first Master of Science in Public Health built my scientific foundation in biomedical science and taught me how to conduct interdisciplinary research.

Outside the Lab: If not in room 486 in the PRBB, you can probably find me playing volleyball, in the gym or having a Vermouth with friends in Grácia. The weekends I mostly spend on some mountains in Cataluña and I am always up for new hiking recommendations! I am fluent in German and English but you can also contact me in Spanish or French. So far, my Catalan reaches from «clar que si» to «com més serem, més riurem». I am working on it!
