Biography

Dr. Anna Duarri holds the MD in Biochemistry and the PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2010). During her doctorate she studied the pathological mechanism of Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy at IDIBELL / Department of Physiological Sciences II (UB) / CIBERER. She continued her postdoctoral training in the Department of Genetics at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG, The Netherlands, 2011-2014), studying the genetic and molecular basis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 19/22. She was then incorporated as a postdoctoral researcher at the Stem Cell Bank at the CMR[B] (2015).
