Patricia is a visiting PhD student from Spain. She completed her bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and afterwards, did a master’s degree in Computational Biology at the same university. When she finished her master’s, she carried out a 6-month Erasmus+ traineeship in Thierry Langer’s group at the University of Vienna and, after that, she was working at Roche as Linux System Administrator for 1.5 years. Finally, in 2022 she decided to join Xavier Barril’s research group at the University of Barcelona and enrol in the Biomedicine PhD program. Her PhD project aims to develop a computational workflow for the rational design of miniPROTAC molecules. In her free time, she enjoys playing board games and travelling.
