Ester Tempos

Ester Vazquez

CO-FOUNDER & CRYO-EM SPECIALIST

Ester, prior to her industry leap and the inception of TEMPoS, honed her skills as a postdoctoral fellow at the MRC-Laboratory of Molecular Biology (Cambridge, UK), immersing herself in cryo-EM and cancer biology. She boasts a PhD in Biology from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain), followed by post-doctoral training in prion structure using cryo-EM at the University of Alberta (Canada).
