duran lab members
Meet the members of Duran´s Lab. A highly qualified staff with extensive experience in the Skeletal Biology and Precision Medicine, if you are interested in working with us send us a message with your CV in the Contact us section.
Iván Durán
Principal Investigator
Dr. Duran´s work is based in a precision medicine approach to uncover mechanisms of disease and develop precision therapies for skeletal disorders and inflammation. Dr. Duran obtained his PhD in the University of Malaga, Spain. Then he for 10 years in the US, first at Cornell University and later at the University of California Los Angeles…
Fabiana Csukasi
Principal Investigator
Dr. Csukasi obtained her PhD in 2010 at the University of Malaga, Spain, where she studied how signaling pathways control developmental programs. After finishing her PhD, she moved to the USA to continue my career as a postdoc at Boyce Thompson Institute in Ithaca (NY), the University of Southern California (USC)…
Gustavo Rico
Postdoct
Dr. Rico is a CIBER-BBN postdoc in our lab specialized in biomaterials and in vivo testing of skeletal therapeutic approaches. He is currently involved in two projects exploring new therapeutic approaches to inflammatory diseases like COVID19 and signaling pathways connecting perivascular matrix with connective differentiation.
José Miguel Pérez Tejeiro
PhD Candidates
Mr. Perez-Tejeiro is a FPU PhD candidate studying bone specific therapies and tissue targeting through differential expression of skeletal genes. He is also developing bioinformatic tools to standardize massive sequencing data.
Jesús Arcedo Rabaneda
PhD Candidates
Mr. Arcedo is a PhD Candidate student mesenchymal signaling pathways that mediate metabolic skeletal disease based in DEPTOR.
Sandra Escalante
PhD Candidates
Ms. Escalante is a PhD Candidate applying tissue engineering to organoid modeled inflammatory and skeletal disease in search of new therapeutic approaches.
Daniel Vázquez Calero
Clinical Vet
Mr. Vazquez is a successful veterinary clinician and director of Aracavian Clinic and our veterinary resident, expert in small animal manipulation, analysis and surgery. He leads a project on aviary hyperostosis as both vet and human health model and he also preparing his PhD dissertation in Duran´s lab.
