Summary
Marta Zamora is a postdoctoral researcher with nine years of experience studying the functional consequences of transposable element insertions in natural Drosophila melanogaster populations. Based in Barcelona, she has held research and teaching roles at Instituts including IBE (UPF-CSIC), IBB (CSIC-CMCNB) and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, where she also served as assistant professor and academic manager for an MSc in Bioinformatics. Her work combines evolutionary genomics and bioinformatics, leveraging strong quantitative training (MSc in Bioinformatics, Degree in Genetics) to connect population data with molecular function. Marta’s background includes international research internships and leadership in the RSG-Spain community, reflecting both collaborative and outreach commitments. Colleagues value her for translating complex genomic variation into testable functional hypotheses and for mentoring students in computational biology. She often pairs hands-on wet-lab collaborations with custom computational pipelines, an approach that helps reveal how mobile elements shape natural variation.
