Manuel Daza Martín
Principal Investigator
I am currently a Ramón y Cajal fellow at IPBLN-CSIC, where I lead my laboratory as principal investigator. I have carried out most of my scientific career in the United Kingdom, where I completed a PhD program at the University of Birmingham. During my PhD I investigated how BRCA1 functions in response to replication stress. After my PhD, I joined the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London as a postdoctoral researcher to study how repetitive DNA sequences are replicated.
My international scientific career has provided me with the opportunity to establish global collaborations and to secure competitive funding to launch my research lines.
Janet Martín Campos
Lab Manager
I hold a Degree in Biology and two Masters, one in Advanced Biotechnology and another one in Personalized Medicine. In 2019, I joined the Public Health System’s Biobank technical team to work on the conservation and preservation of samples. In 2020, I moved to GENYO as part of the technology transfer and scientific dissemination team. I then joined the Gene and Cell Therapy group as lab manager until 2024, where I worked in the production of lentiviral vectors using CART technology.
Here, in the lab I mainly act as a lab manager doing part of the admin work and supporting other scientific projects carried out in the laboratory.
Celia Jiménez Colón
PhD Student
With a degree in Biotechnology and a master’s degree in Genetics and Evolution, I have found my passion in the study of genetics and molecular biology. Thanks to different grants, I have had the chance to work in several laboratories since very early in my career, including an international stay. These opportunities have only increased my fondness for research and laboratory work.
As part of my PhD, I study repetitive sequences associated with neurological disorders and the effect of these repeats on the physiology and gene activity of neurons.
