Alba completed her PhD in Biotechnology at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, and is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Talkowski lab in the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. Her research focuses on the discovery of unknown etiological genes and variants in coding and non-coding regions of the genome of patients with rare diseases, especially identifying and characterizing causal structural variants using multiple sequencing technologies, including short- and long-read whole-genome sequencing. Currently, Alba is working on large-scale population and clinical genomics projects to systematically explore a variety of genomic variation and its implication for human disease.
