Diego José López Cánovas

 

My name is Diego and I am from Totana (Murcia, Spain). Ever since I was a little child, I have enjoyed doing experiments anywhere. What started as a hobby has taken me to finish my studies and get my degrees in Pathological Anatomy and Cytopathology (IES Ramón y Cajal) and Clinical and Biomedical Laboratory (CIFP Politécnico de Murcia). At this point, I decided to give a step forward and gain experience in cellular and molecular biology techniques. The Culture Cell training course (600 h) and short stays at IMIDA-ITUM (2 months) and Reina Sofia hospital in Murcia (4 months) allowed me to learn a wide range of in vitro techniques as well as how to manage biological samples (e.g., urine, blood, etc). The Spanish Ministry-funded AngioPhenol project is the cherry on top of my career (at least so far). I will enlarge my knowledge to the field of food science and contribute to understanding how natural compounds modulate endogenous processes focusing on angiogenesis and related receptors. Furthermore, my contribution to the preparation of the manuscripts, participation in outreach activites and collaboration in other ongoing projects carried out in the laboratory will boost my CV, thus opening up new opportunities in my career.
