Most of my professional and academic trajectory has developed in Barcelona, focused on developmental genetics and neuroscience, and their relationship between human behavior, especially during the learning processes. I have also been a researcher at the Universitat d’Oxford, and I have been at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg,  Germany, at the Universitat d’Innsbruck, in Àustria, and at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York.

I teach on various subjects in the field of genetics, scientific communication, teacher training and neuroeducation, and I have published more than seventy scientific articles in scientific journals.
In the field of scientific dissemination, I have published twenty five books and esseys, along with various text books.
