Cristina Sanchez De Diego graduated from the University of Zaragoza in 2015 with a degree in biotechnology. She obtained her PhD in biomedicine from the University of Barcelona in 2021, where she was working on osteocyte differentiation, focusing on the link between metabolism, nuclear transcription reprogramming, and cell fate decision. Then, she moved to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she began to develop new microphysiological systems for the study of the tumor microenvironment in prostate cancer metastasis within the bone marrow. Additional research interests and projects in which she is involved include bone cellular senesce, discovering new therapeutical strategies for Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressive (FOP) and osteoporosis, and developing new microphysiological systems for endodontic research.
