Biography
After completing her PhD in Cell Biology at the University of Seville, Margarita Cabrera Sola worked as a postdoctoral fellow and senior postdoc at the University of Osnabrück (Germany). In 2014 she worked for a year as a senior postdoc at ERIBA research centre (Groningen, Netherlands), where she studied changes linked to ageing processes and senescence. Since 2016 she has formed part of Dr Elena Hidalgo’s research group at the Department of Experimental and Health Sciences (DCEXS) at UPF. Her research focuses on molecular mechanisms that control cell longevity, with particular interest on those that delay the onset of ageing.
