Miguel Gómez Fontela

PhD | Molecular Biosciences. I am a genetic immunologist focused in understanding the transcriptional regulation of several immune system genes, and how their expression determines the behavior of immune system cell populations. I have been working for 6 years as a scientist, being the last 4 focused on the adaptation of CRISPR-Cas9 system for gene editing, for driving gene expression and for characterizing the proteins bound to a given region by using the enChIP technique. As part of my PhD thesis I developed a device based on laser induced forward transfer for immune system cells printing. Sharing the scientific knowledge with society is one of my major goals in parallel with the development of my scientific career. For that reason, I am managing a web blog in Spanish which shares some news and important achievements of science to the people how are interested on research and development. Now, as a part of MolecularCloud, my main goal is to share with scientist and students the novel techniques and applications that science develops every day.
