Pamela is originally from Peru, but she moved to Spain at age 14. There she completed her bachelor’s and master’s degree. She has always been passionate about research, understanding the mechanism underlying disease, with especial focus on tropical diseases. She moved to Italy to pursue a PhD in organic electronics as an ITN Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow, where she developed biosensors for the label-free detection of aging biomarkers. As part of this European program, she had the opportunity to collaborate with different laboratories around Europe, spending five months at the Austrian Institute of Technology, among others. Outside the lab, Pamela likes exploring new outdoor activities, like sailing, skiing, etc., but her other passion is dancing, mainly Latin American dances.
