The researcher at the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC), Dr. Miguel Torres, has been appointed Associate Editor of the prestigious scientific journal Science Advances. Science Advances is a peer-reviewed, open access, multidisciplinary scientific journal created in early 2015 and published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAA).
Dr. Torres is a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). Dr. Miguel Torres’s scientific research focuses on the regulation of embryonic development and the formation and regeneration of organs. His major contributions include the understanding of how gene activities regulate regionalization processes in the developing embryo and the discovery of mechanisms involved in quality control and organ regeneration.
Among his various projects, Dr. Torres directs the first Spanish-coordinated international project funded by the prestigious Leducq Foundation: ‘Redox Regulation of Cardiomyocyte Renewal’. The project aim is to identify how and why adult mammals lose the capacity to regenerate the heart after an infarction, whereas newborn infants and adults of other animals, including fish and amphibians, retain this ability
