Leticia Martín de la Cruz was born in Segovia, Spain, in 1994. She obtained her degree in Biochemistry at Complutense University of Madrid in 2016. She joined the group of Dr. Oscar Palomares in 2015 with a Collaboration grant from the Ministry of Education and Culture (Spain) at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. During her degree, she worked on the Final Degree Project studying the effect of tumor carbohydrates on human dendritic cells. In 2017, she completed her Master’s degree in Research in Immunology on the same topic at University Complutense of Madrid under the supervision of Dr. Palomares. Leticia obtained a FPU fellowship to perform her PhD in the group. During this period, she carried out an international research stay at Radboudumc (Netherlands) under the supervision of Dr. Mihai G. Netea and Dr. Jorge Domínguez-Andrés. In March 2023, she defended her thesis: “Study of the mode of action of novel immunomodulators for the development of alternative therapeutic strategies for recurrent genitourinary tract infections and cancer”. She is currently a “Profesora Ayudante Doctora” at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Pharmacy, in UCM. In parallel, she continues her research within the group, focusing on a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the mode of action of cannabinoids anti-TSLP treatments in asthma.
