Daniel Tornero has a PhD in Neurosciences from the University of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) and more than twenty years of experience in the field. His scientific interest has been oriented towards the exploration of new strategies for the study and treatment of neurological disorders, in particular ischemic stroke. He spent most of his postdoctoral time at Lund Stem Cell Center (Sweden), where he developed cell therapies based on human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for ischemic stroke. Since 2019, Daniel is an Assistant Professor at the University of Barcelona and Head of the Laboratory of Neural Stem Cells and Brain Damage. His projects are focused on the study of functional neuronal integration in cell therapies applied to brain injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. He also participates in projects related to the development of models, both in vivo and in vitro, that help to explore neurodegenerative processes and diseases that affect. neurodevelopment.
