Summary
Maria Barallobre is a senior postdoctoral researcher with over a decade of experience studying central nervous system development and congenital brain disorders, currently leading work at CIBERER-IBMB (CSIC) on mechanisms that link brain development to neurodegenerative processes. Trained with a PhD in Cell Biology from Universitat de Barcelona, she combines deep neurobiology expertise with a track record of sustained postdoctoral research across prominent European institutes (CRG, INSERM, CIBERER). As a founder of BIOcomuniCA'T she also translates complex science for the public, signaling strong science communication and outreach commitment alongside bench research. Her career reflects continuity and progression in developmental neurobiology, with an emphasis on mechanistic insights that may inform disease understanding and therapeutic directions. Based in the Greater Barcelona area, she brings both academic rigor and community-facing engagement to collaborative projects. An understated strength is her decade-spanning ability to bridge fundamental developmental biology with questions relevant to neurodegeneration.
