 Rosa Bautista-Llácer has been working as a molecular geneticist for over 8 years. In 2001 she graduated in Biology at the University of Valencia. She specialized on molecular biology techniques at the genetics department in Cambridge University, UK. In 2006 she joined the biotechnological company Sistemas Genómicos in Valencia, and works in the molecular preimplantation genetic diagnosis laboratory of the Reproductive Genetics Unit. She has set up several diagnostic protocols for rare monogenic disorders, most for the first time in Spain. Nowadays, her team is developing applications for an increasing list of single-gene disorders and numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities.
