He joined the Genetics of Male Fertility group (Department of Cell Biology, Physiology and Immunology -UAB-) as a PhD Student, and Human Nutrition Unit (Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology - Universitat Rovira i Virgili ; URV-) in 2016 as a Post-doctoral Fellowship . He spent a three-month Post-doctoral stay (September-December 2017) at Universidad de Guadalajara in Mexico (UdeG). He obtained his second Post-doctoral Fellowship at the University of Utah (UofU; United States of America). He had a position for two years and four months (2018 to 2020) at this university with a visa for 5 years. Over that period, he worked on different large international multicentric projects (e.g., GEMINI Project, FAZST Project, IMIGC consortium, and FERTINUTS Project, among others) related to genetics and epigenetics of male fertility and nutrition as a Director of Dietary/Epigenetic studies and outreach activities organization . He obtained his third Post-doctoral Fellowship at Harvard University (USA). His mentor was Prof. Jorge E. Chavarro, who is leading a high international recognized research group specialized in Nutrition and Epidemiology. He was at Harvard between 2020 and 2021 and worked on different large international multicentric projects (e.g. NURSES’ HEALTH STUDY, GUTS, and EARTH, among others) related to (epi)genetics of male fertility and nutrition. Nowadays, he is a Senior Juan de la Cierva Postdoc at University of Girona (Spain) with Prof. Marc Yeste, Visiting Scholar at Harvard University (USA), and a member of the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red de la Fisiopatología de la Obesidad y Nutrición (CIBERobn, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Spain) while he is keeping active collaborations with all his past research groups (UAB, URV, UdeG, and UofU). He has participated in 11 competitive national and international projects ( Principal or Co-Principal Investigator in 4 ) and he was awarded with 4 competitive, postdoctoral research contracts (one in evaluation: MSCA Postdoctoral fellowship 2021-TRPC-FERTYL) with a total of 36 months abroad (3 more expected) as a post-doc. Albert has been teaching for 10 academic years at different universities (UAB, UdeG, UofU and UdG) (Degree in Nutrition, Degree in Biochemistry, Degree in Biology, Degree in Bioengineering, Master in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine, Doctorate in Translational Nutrition Sciences, and Doctorate in Biomedical Sciences) with more than 310 h of magistral lectures (theory) and practicals (including Doctorate and Master courses). He has supervised 5 Degree (BSc) Projects and 2 Master (MSc) Projects , participated in 6 Final Degree committees , and is currently supervising 2 PhD Thesis .

His research has been mainly focused on male infertility (epi)genetics and nutrition and has been specialized in sperm miRNAs, molecular biology, Randomized Clinical Trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. He has been awarded with prestigious prizes, including the PhD Extraordinary Award 2018 (UAB), the 45th, 44th and 36th Annual Conference of American Society of Andrology Travel Award (NIH) and an Andrology Award 2016 (Andrology journal).
