Prof. Juan Antonio Guadix Dominguez

Prof. Juan Antonio Guadix Dominguez, Associate Professor at University of Málaga/IBIMA Plataforma Bionand

Prof Guadix shared with the PhD students his professional experiences regarding cardiac tissue regeneration, analysing stem cell differentiation under different conditions using in vivo and in vitro animal models. The optimisation of in vitro experimental protocols for future in vivo application makes it possible to define the molecular mechanisms involved in cell differentiation as an advanced therapy for various heart diseases and related problems.
