Cristina García studied a Higher Technical Certificate in Clinical Diagnosis laboratory techniques at the Roger de Llúria IFP between 2010 and 2012. During her studies she did an internship at the units of microbiology, blood bank & emergencies at the Moisès Broggi Hospital, as well as at the Control of Stem Cell Potency lab at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), under the supervision of Dr. Ángel Raya. Once she obtained her B category diploma on Laboratory Animal Research, she started working as a technician responsible of zebrafish facilities maintenance and she was also carrying out the generation and care of transgenic lines. Cristina also played the role of assistant in molecular biology at the laboratory of Dr. Ángel Raya, where she had been doing her internship some time before. During this period, she acquired a great experience in both zebrafish care and laboratory techniques. In 2015 she moved to the CMR[B] doing the same functions than before, also with the Ángel Raya’s team. In 2016 she has attended a course on the genetic basis of complex diseases at Aetel, thus increasing her knowledge in this field.
