Biography & Research: 

I am a Neuropsychologist and Clinical Psychologist from the University of La Laguna (Spain). I graduated as a PhD in 2012 also at the University of La Laguna (Spain). I have been working at Karolinska Institutet (KI) since 2012. Currently I am leading several lines of research and I supervise several PhD students, Master students and Degree students. I also collaborate with other research groups from KI, other centers in Sweden, and other International groups. I am Co-Director of GENIC (Group of Neuropsychological Studies of the Canary Islands, University of La Laguna, Spain). My main research interest is Normal Aging and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. The main focus is put in cognition and neuroimaging but genetic factors, CSF biomarkers, and clinical and socio-demographic variables are part of my research as well.
