Sofia Granados Aparici
Dr. Sofia Granados Aparici graduated in 2012 from the Biotechnology programme of the Universitat Politècnica de Valencia (Spain). In 2013, she was awarded a competitive PhD Faculty Scholarship at the University of Sheffield (UK) to work with Dr Mark Fenwick where she investigated the cellular and molecular changes that the primordial granulosa cells undergo in response to transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling. In 2018, she joined Dr. Hugh Clarke's lab at McGill University (Canada) as a post-doctoral fellow and studied how TGFβ ligands allow granulosa cells to generate specialized filopodia, termed transzonal projections, that enable them to communicate with the growing oocyte. She returned to Spain in 2022 and joined the lab of Dr. Rosa Noguera at the Universitat de València/INCLIVA. Here, she has had the opportunity to learn Digital Pathology and to participate in projects focused on the implementation of Machine Learning tools. Her current goal is to transfer this knowledge to the reproduction field and build her own research niche in Artificial Intelligence/Bioinformatics.
