Antonio Díez-juan

Biography

Dr. Antonio Díez-Juan PhD in Biology with honors in his class awarded by the University of Valencia. He developed his doctoral thesis at the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) on the molecular crosstalk between cell proliferation, aging and atherosclerosis. After completing his doctoral thesis he worked five years as a postdoctoral scientist at the prestigious Center for Gene Therapy (VIB) at the University of Leuven in Belgium, discovering key mechanisms in different vascular processes such as: Arteriosclerosis, Angiogenesis, Ischemia and Development. After this period he worked in the National Centre for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC) in Madrid, Spain. At this time he began his career as an independent investigator working in the genetic control of organ regeneration. In September 2010 he move to Prince Felipe Research Centre. He founded a laboratory dedicated to identify molecular mechanisms modulating aging and metabolism in reproductive aging and diabetes. Actually he works in Igenomix as a product innovation leadership. Now he is applying all his knowledge in molecular technology and biology to develop new products in advance reproductive genetics. He is the author of several research works in molecular biology. His works have been published in high impact journals such as Nature Genetics, Cancer Cell, Blood, Circulation Research. In its little more than 10 year career builds an index h 19 and i10 index of 22 and more than 1400 citations.
