The trajectory Dr. María José Serrano is based on oncological research and mainly focused on the area of liquid biopsy.

During her career she has made different stays in Spain (Bilbao, Pamplona, Barcelona) and abroad (Tromso Norway).Currently, she is scientific director of the Liquid Biopsy Group and Cancer Interception group (BL & M) at GENyO center and in the Oncology department in the University Hospital Virgen de las Nieves, in Granada. She is author of more than 35 articles, about the exciting field of Liquid Biopsy.

Currently, she leads national as international projects. These projects are focused on the study of circulating tumor cells, platelets and cell free tumor DNA in different solid tumors. In addition, currently leads a national project funded by European commission to clinical implementation of LB in the Andalusian Hospitals (Innovative public purchase). Results of these projects have generated internationally licensed patents, the last of these patents is focused in a new methodology to detect circulating pulmonary cells in COPD patients.

Work carried out by her group has been recognized by the Health Ministry and the Andalusian Health Service (SAS).
