Dr. Carlos Fernandez Gimenez

He graduated in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Salamanca in 1999. He obtained his Advanced Studies Diploma (DEA) in 2002 and his PhD in 2016 with a cum laude distinction from the same university, after defending his doctoral thesis entitled "Biological characterization of myeloid malignant hematopathies versus their normal counterparts: relationship with the pathways of malignant transformation." He currently combines this activity with research and teaching, which has allowed him to participate in more than 15 competitively funded projects with public and private funding. His work and research activities have resulted in more than 40 publications in top-tier international journals.

Since 2009, he has been responsible for national and international teacher training for the Flow Cytometry Service. More than 700 people from a wide variety of professional backgrounds have passed through our facilities, including laboratory technicians, chemists, physicists, bioinformaticians, physicians, pharmacists, biologists, and biochemists, both in training (residents) and graduates. We have also provided training for hematologists and professionals in charge of diagnostic laboratories, both in the public and private sectors across five continents. Since October 2018, we have coordinated the University of Salamanca's own degree program entitled "Diploma of Specialization in Flow Cytometry for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Malignant Hematopathies and Primary Immunodeficiencies," which is awarded 30 ECTS credits and lasts two months.
