María Domínguez Castellano

She has a B.S. in biochemistry from the University of Seville and a Ph.D. in developmental biology from the Autonomous University of Madrid. Her doctoral thesis title was "Función del gen asense del complejo génico achaete-scute en la generación de los órganos sensoriales de Drosophila melanogaster" ("Role of the asense gene of the achaete-scute gene complex in the generation of the sensory organs of Drosophila melanogaster ").{{cite web |title=María Domínguez Castellano |url=https://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/autor?codigo=3243307 |website=Dialnet |access-date=3 May 2021 |language=es}} She worked at University of Zurich and the University of Cambridge before taking up a post at the Institute of Neurosciences (UMH-CSIC) in 2000. She became a full professor in 2008, and Director of the Department of Developmental Neurobiology in 2016.

In 2008 she won the {{ill|Alberto Sols prize|es|Premios Alberto Sols}}, with the jury citing "the study of the development and formation of the retina as a neural model, a study that in turn has revealed new mechanisms of cancer development"{{cite web |title=Premio Francisco Cobos · Archivo Histórico: 2008 |url=https://fundacionfranciscocobos.org/historico/ |website=Fundación Francisco Cobos |access-date=3 May 2021 |language=es}} and the Francisco Cobos prize for Biomedical Research.{{Cite web|title=La investigadora María Domínguez recibe el IX Premio Francisco Cobos a la investigación Biomédica|url=https://www.agenciasinc.es/Noticias/La-investigadora-Maria-Dominguez-recibe-el-IX-Premio-Francisco-Cobos-a-la-investigacion-Biomedica|access-date=2021-05-28|website=Agencia SINC|language=es-MX}}
