Zaida María Abad Jiménez obtained her degree in Nursing and Master's degree in Physiology from the University of Valencia in 2017. After defending her Master's thesis, she joined the "Translational Research in Nutrition and Metabolism" group at FISABIO. During her predoctoral stage, she made a scientific stay at the University Hospital of Maastricht to evaluate the effect of diet on the cardiovascular system and vasomotion in patients with obesity. Her doctoral thesis is entitled "Study of the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery on the molecular mechanisms associated with the pathophysiology of obesity" and was defended in December 2022 as part of the Ph.D. program in Physiology at the University of Valencia (outstanding, Cum Laude distinction, with international mention). She is a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Polymers Therapeutic, thanks to a competitive Juan de la Cierva (JDC2022-048668-I) contract. Her project focuses on the role of adipose tissue in women with obesity and triple negative breast cancer.
