As an Anthropologist, the research in which I have participated and led has sought to apply the gender perspective to drug use and abuse, and to develop ethnographic research in public health. All in all, I have participated in 29 research projects and contracts, 7 European ones. Since 2001, I have been the Principal Investigator of 9 research projects on the application of the gender perspective to the study of drug use and abuse. My research in an interdisciplinary and emerging field, and the team I work with, have allowed me to publish in indexed journals, especially in those devoted to youth studies and drug dependence from a gender perspective, but also in other public health journals. I have taught the subject "Anthropology of Health" at the UGR. I teach on the Erasmus Mundus Master's Degree in Women's and Gender Studies (GEMMA) coordinated by the University Institute for Research in Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Granada, and on the Master's Degree in Social Problems taught in the Faculty of Sociology at the UGR. I have been teaching at the Deusto Institute of Drug Addictions since 2009, in the Master's Degree in Drug Addictions organized by this institution. I have been appointed collaborating lecturer at the Andalusian School of Public Health, presenting me the opportunity to transfer some of the results of my research to the Andalusian Health Sector. I also participate in research projects in Public Health that are carried out at this institution. In relation to doctoral studies, I am part of the staff of the Official Doctoral Programme Women's Studies, Gender Discourses and Practices and the Doctoral Programme in Social Sciences at the University of Granada. I have carried out research stays in different prestigious centres at national and international level, among which the Gino Germani Research Institute (Argentina) and DEVIDA (Peru), both standing out because of their duration. In terms of university management, I have been Deputy Director and Director of the Institute of Women's Studies at the University of Granada (2003-2005) and (2011-2015).
