Marcos Malumbres: "División celular: mecanismos moleculares y su implicación en la enfermedad"

Marcos Malumbres studied in the University of Navarra and performed his doctoral studies in the University of León, working in molecular genetics in gram-positive bacteria. After obtaining the Ph.D. degree, he moved for a postdoctoral stay at the New York University Medical Center for training in the field of oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Recent work from his group has characterized the specific energetic requirements of cancer cells during mitosis (Nat Cell Biol., 2015). Current work includes the analysis of cell cycle kinases and phosphatases such as PP2A-B55 complexes, the regulatory networks between microRNAs and the cell division cycle and its relevance in progenitor cells and tumor development.
