PhD student
University of Navarra, Spain
I graduated in Pharmacy (2020) and Human Nutrition and Dietetics (2021) from the University of Navarra, obtaining the Extraordinary End of Degree Award. At the end of these studies, in February 2021, I joined the Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health starting my doctoral thesis, which I am doing thanks to the grant of the Government of Spain "Formación de Profesorado Universitario". In my first year I published 2 scientific articles in Q1 indexed journals as first author and in which we offered the first evidence that a dietary pattern could protect against COVID-19. Subsequently my research has focused on the health effects of different patterns of alcohol consumption. I am currently on a 3-month fellowship in the Department of Epidemiology at Harvard University.
