Mireia Castillo-Martín is an anatomic pathologist who has always been interested in translational research. She defended her PhD in 2006 and since then she pursued a research career in the field of cancer, using histopathology as the basis for her studies, contributing with her knowledge in many collaborative projects. She has also been involved in Biobank activities since 2011. In 2015 she started her own laboratory at the Champalimaud Foundation.

The Molecular and Experimental Pathology Laboratory has two main goals: on one side, the research focus is the characterisation of specific molecular signatures in human cancer tissue specimens by combining genomic and phenotypic information, merging tumor mutational status with multispectral immunofluorescence expression results. On the other side, the lab aims to provide histopathological assessment of animal models and human tissue specimens as part of comparative and experimental pathology.
