Beatriz graduated in Biochemistry from the University of Córdoba, Spain (2013-2017), and completed a Master’s in Molecular, Cellular, and Genetic Biology at the University of Valencia, Spain (2018). She conducted her PhD thesis (2019-2023) at the Neuronal and Tissue Regeneration Lab, headed by Dr. Victoria Moreno Manzano at the CIPF (Valencia, Spain), focusing on spinal cord injury research. During her PhD, Beatriz implemented a novel approach for optogenetic stimulation of cAMP signaling in corticospinal neurons to improve motor function after spinal cord injury. She has also conducted two international research stays at the University of Copenhagen and at Imperial College London. Currently, her research focuses on engineering the MSC secretome for CNS-targeting.
