Dr. Hortensia Ferrero is a full-time investigator at FIVI-INCLIVA through a Sara Borrell Grant by Health Institute Carlos III and research group leader for treatment and diagnosis of uterine diseases at IVI Foundation in Valencia. She obtained her Bachelors degree form the University of Valencia in 2006, with a major in Biology. She then obtained a Master’s Degree in Biotechnology and Biomedicine (2008), focusing on Human Reproductive Biology. She carried out her PhD studies with a PFIS fellowship granted by Health Institute Carlos III. In 2013, she worked six months with Dr. D. Stephen Charnock-Jones’ group at University of Cambridge in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, in the UK, supported by a grant by Health Institute Carlos III. She received her PhD degree in Biotechnology with special international mention, in 2014 from University of Valencia. Her thesis project on the angiogenic process regulating the corpus luteum in physiological and pathological conditions recieved an Extraordinary Award in 2015.
