I’m Clàudia Salat Canela and I‘ve just arrived in Lausanne from Barcelona.

After obtaining a master’s degree in Biomedical Research (UPF, Barcelona), I joined Elena Hidalgo and José Ayté’s lab as a PhD student. 
During my doctoral studies, I focused on the role of MAP kinases in regulating gene transcription and cell polarity during stress responses in fission yeast.

I’m thrilled to have recently joined Vjestica Lab.  My postdoctoral research will explore the molecular mechanisms of zygotic specification in fission yeast.
