Dr Isabel Almudi

​

I am a Beatriz Galindo researcher at the Genetics, Microbiology and Statistics Department at the University of Barcelona. My research interests focus on the developmental processes that control animal morphology and how they evolved to give rise to the huge diversity of animals and their sensory and ecological adaptations.

PhD student (co-supervised together with Prof Fernando Casares at the CABD, check his labsite here)

​

I am interested in understanding the genetic mechanisms of growth control during development and regeneration and its evolutionary implications. For this reason, I started my PhD  investigating these questions using the mayfly C. dipterum, which has great regenerative capabilities as a model system.
