Andrea

Andrea Palomar holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Biotechnology at Polytechnic University of Valencia (2015). She performed a one-year clinical specialization as clinical embryologist at Reproduction Unit of Hospital La Fe (Valencia, 2015-2016), and later she specialized in Reproductive Medicine through an Official Master’s degree in Biotechnology of Assisted Human Reproduction at University of Valencia (2016-2018). In 2019, she was awarded a predoctoral contract (FI18/00009) by Carlos III Health Research Institte and joined Dr. Domínguez’s group at IVI Foundation-IIS La Fe to
study endometrial receptivity and human embryo competence and pursue her Ph.D in Biology of Reproduction and Reproductive Medicine. During her last 5 years as a researcher in the field of reproductive biology, her main area of study is the embryomaternal interaction at the time of implantation and post-implantation development. She has been. Lastly, she was awarded an international mobility grant for research personnel (MV21/00086) by Carlos III Health Research Institute to collaborate as visiting researcher at Babraham institute (Cambridge, UK) working on the
development of embryo-endometrial co-culture systems.

I am a researcher in the field of Biology of Human Reproduction and Reproductive Medicine. I have collaborated in several clinical research projects centred on andrology and human embryology. During my last 5 years as a Ph.D. candidate as part of the Reproductive Biology and Bioengineering in Human Reproduction research group at Fertility & Mother-Child Medicine Area (IVIRMA Global Research Alliance, IVI Foundation – IIS La Fe), I specialized on endometrial receptivity and embryonic competence. I am a passionate on how the first cell-in-cell embryo-maternal interactions are established during human embryo implantation and the mechanism by which the embryo managed to invade and develop during the first two weeks after fertilization. For this reason, my group is always seeking how to improve in vitro modelling of human peri-implantational niche to better understand such intriguing processes and to unveil possible causes for implantation failures. Besides, I firmly
believe that not only transcriptomic approaches are important to understand the complexity of human peri-implantation niche but also proteomic and secretomic approaches play a paramount role on characterizing embryo-maternal communication during human implantation.
