Alcalá de Henares, Community of Madrid, Spain
Hi! I’m Lidia, a final-year Health Sciences student at the University of Alcalá with a strong passion for cancer research, biochemistry, proteomics, structural biology, immunology, and bioanalytical methods. I am currently completing my bachelor’s thesis in my university’s Systems Biology department, focusing on the screening of genitourinary cancers through biomarker detection using Raman-SERS and convolutional neural networks. Since the beginning of my degree, I have been involved in research as an undergraduate research assistant, gaining hands-on experience in spectroscopy, molecular biology, and data analysis with machine learning. In 2025, I was selected as an Amgen Scholar at the Pasteur Institute, where I further strengthened my research skills and international perspective. I have also presented my work at conferences on cell signaling, educational innovation, and young researchers. Beyond research, I am proactive and community-driven: I have served as a student representative at both faculty and university levels, mentored first-year students, and engaged in outreach activities to inspire young people to pursue science. I am eager to further develop my career in translational research, particularly in oncology and therapeutic targets, and I am motivated to contribute to innovative projects at the intersection of biomedicine and data science.
