Biography
Dr. Cristina Martín Castellanos is currently working as a Professor in The Institute for Functional Biology and Genomics , University of Salamanca , Spain. Research interests includes Meiosis is a specialized cell division essential in sexually reproducing organisms. A key feature of meiosis is recombination between homologous (maternal and paternal) chromosomes that, in addition to generate genetic diversity, facilitates accurate chromosome segregation. Defects in chromosome segregation during meiosis cause miscarriages, infertility and genetic diseases, and reveal the important to understand the meiotic recombination process.. Cristina Martín Castellanos is serving as an editorial member and reviewer of several international reputed journals. Dr. Cristina Martín Castellanos is the member of many international affiliations and authored of many research articles/books related to Meiosis is a specialized cell division essential in sexually reproducing organisms.
