Edu Burillo joined the lab in 2018 for his TFM. In 2019 started his PhD to work trying to determine the similarities and differences that exist in GPA process between Arabidopsis and pea. After submitting his dissertation he just left for a postdoc in Weller’s lab at UTAS, but still has to come back to defend it.
Ana Alarcia joined the lab in 2015 for her TFM. In 2017 started her PhD to characterize the role of DEVIL peptides in plant development. She became a doctor in January 2024 and moved to Carbonell lab also at IBMCP for her first postdoc.
Verónica Sánchez Gerschon joined the lab in 2015 for her TFM. In 2017 started her PhD to identify new factors regulating proliferative arrest in Arabidopsis. She became a doctor in July 2023 and moved to Martinez-Garcia lab also at IBMCP for her first postdoc.
Ludo Dreni joined the lab thanks to a MSCA-Global action in Coll. with Prof. Dabing Zhang, SJTU, China. He worked in Valencia with us from 2017-2022. He established rice as a model system in the lab working in transcription factors regulating different aspects of reproductive development.
Paz Merelo got a ComFuturo CSIC grant to work in hormone dynamics at the end of the reproductive cycle. After four years in the lab she was awarded a tenure-track Ramon y Cajal position here at IBMCP, where she continues to work on meristem homeostasis leading her own lab.
Clara Ortiz Ramirez came from Medellín to start her PhD in 2018
on the evolution of transcription factors directing gynoecium patterning in angiosperms. She became a doctor in April 2023 and moved to Nohales lab (IBMCP) to continue her career.
Pepe Moya started in 2014 a 4-year PhD position to work on transcription factors directing gynoecium patterning in Arabidopsis. He succesfully defended his PhD in May 2019 and moved to CBGP in Madrid for his first postdoc
Mariángeles Martínez Godoy was our lab manager since 2013, but in 2019 she was promoted to the Metabolomic Service of IBMCP. Good for her! (but sad for us...)
Africa Gomáriz obtained her PhD in 2017 working with protein complexes and their role in the evolution of the gynoecium in Angiosperms. She now has left the bench for a career teaching in high schools.
Victor Zúñiga-Mayo is a PhD in Biology that came from Mexico to work in a postdoc project on protein complexes directing gynoecium development in Arabidopsis, funded by a CONACYT fellowship. Now is back at LANGEBIO, in Mexico
Chloe Fourquin was our French postdoctoral researcher. She joined the lab in 2008 and worked with us until 2014, mainly interested in fruit evo-devo projects with legumes, solanaceae and basal eudicots. Later, she moved back at Lyon to work in Ingram’s lab at ENS.
Monica Colombo is a Italian postdoc who joined the lab in 2011 funded by the Juan de la Cierva program. She has now come back to Trento in Italy to work in the PhotoLab of the Fondazione Edmund Mach.
Carolina del Cerro was our super-technician for many years. She joined the lab in 2004 and became an expert in working with all the fruity plants around the lab. She moved a few years ago to Biopolis, a valencian biotech company
Marisa Navarrete obtained her PhD in May 2011, studying the role of NGATHA genes in carpel development in Arabidopsis. Later she moved to Pablo Vera’s group, also at IBMCP and now she works as a biologist outside academia.
Marina Trigueros was our first PhD student, initiating our work with the NGA genes. She defended her PhD in 2008 and moved to CNB in Madrid for a 2 year postdoc. Now she is in Australia enjoying the other side of the world. She is the founder of a Science Illustration company, Cariboo Design
