Academic and professional training. I have a degree in Veterinary Medicine (1990) and a PhD in Animal Reproduction (1997) from the University of Murcia. I obtained a diploma in animal reproduction from the European College of Animal Reproduction (2001). I have completed my training with various postgraduate and specialised courses, several short stays in different centres worldwide and a year spent as an Academic Visitor at the prestigious University of Oxford. In the professional area, I have been a veterinary inspector of the Generalitat Valenciana since 1993 and I have been on leave of absence at the University of Murcia since 1998. I have worked in different destinations, which has allowed me to know the livestock sector and the need to improve the transfer of knowledge to the sector. Since 1995, I have been a Professor of Physiology at the University of Murcia, first as a part-time Assistant Professor, then as a full-time Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and finally, since 2016, as a Full Professor. My teaching activity is related to Veterinary Physiology for undergraduate students and Biology of Reproduction in the MSc. Biology and Technology of Reproduction and PhD programme Biology and Technology of Reproductive Health. Research activity. Since my first research scholarship in the 4th year of veterinary medicine, my research has been focused on reproductive biology. Basically, I have worked on 3 lines of work, all related to the sperm cell. On the one hand, the evaluation of the parameters that define sperm function and their relationship with fertilisation capacity. Finally, the generation of transgenic animals that serve as experimental models by exploiting the ability of sperm to bind and transport exogenous DNA (sperm mediated gene transfer, SMGT), the use of lentiviruses and, more recently, the use of nucleases (CRISPS-Cas9) to generate gene edited knock-out pigs that serve as models of human disease and animal production. Although most of my work has involved domestic animals, I have also developed a strong interest in working with human spermatozoa.
