  • PROFILE

    Miguel R. Campanero is a Tenured Research Scientist at Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBMSO) in Madrid. After obtaining his PhD degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, investigating the role of cell adhesion molecules in lymphocyte biology, he started working on cell cycle, cell death, and gene expression regulation at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Harvard Medical School). He continued this work at Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas Alberto sols (Madrid), where he established his own group in 2001. In 2008 he also started to investigate the pathomechanisms of cardiovascular diseases. Miguel moved to the CBMSO in September 2019, where he leads the laboratory of “Molecular characterization of vascular pathogenesis and lymphomagenesis” ( https://www.cbm.uam.es/mcampanero). His work is published in prestigious journals and he has supervised 12 PhD Thesis. Miguel is member of the International Basic/Translational Panel for the GenTAC since 2021. (Read full CV).

  • RESEARCH
    INTERESTS

    His work focuses on the identification of molecular mechanisms altered in cardiovascular diseases and cancer, the two major causes of mortality world-wide. His group has uncovered genes that drive lymphomagenesis, atherosclerosis, restenosis, intramural hematoma, hypertension, thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, and abdominal aortic aneurysm, and aims at identifying new pathophysiological mechanisms, biomarkers for disease diagnosis or prognosis, and new targets for therapeutic intervention in lymphoid tumors and aortic diseases. He is most interested in discovering specific features of lymphoma initiating cells and delineating the molecular pathways leading to hypertension and thoracic aortic aneurysm, particularly in Marfan and Loeys-Dietzsyndromes.
