Patricia Outeda, PhD

Dr. Outeda Garcia graduated in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology from University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. She obtained her Master degree in Endocrinology and PhD degree in the department of Medicine, School of Medicine with Professor Xose M. Lens from University of Santiago de Compostela. Her research was focused on the genetics of renal diseases.

Dr. Outeda Garcia completed her post-doctoral training with Dr. Terry Watnick at the Johns Hopkins University and University of Maryland School of Medicine. She joined the faculty at the University of Maryland in 2016.
