Paloma's research focusses in understanding how immune cells and inflammation shape the aging process in the brain to promote organ resilience during aging and in age-related diseases.
Paloma studied Natural Sciences with an emphasis in Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge. Afterwards, she pursued a Ph.D. in Cell Biology at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research. Under the mentorship of Prof. Margaret Robinson she studied how proteins are sorted and trafficked inside cells.
She then pursued postdoctoral studies in the laboratory of Prof. Anne Brunet at Stanford University with a Human Frontiers Science Program postdoctoral fellowship. At Stanford she investigated changes in the brain during aging, focusing on immune cells and how to target them with engineered proteins.
Paloma's work has been published in top journals and she has received numerous awards and honors for her research, including several best poster presentation awards at the Bay Area Aging Meeting and a Long Term HFSP Fellowship.
