MOLECULAR AND CLINICAL CANCER MEDICINE SEMINAR SERIES - SPONSORED BY NORTH WEST CANCER RESEARCH
Professor Ginés Morata is an expert in Developmental Biology of the fruit fly Drosophila, a subject on which he has been working for over 50 years. He has been involved in several major findings in the field, including the discovery of compartments, the phenomenon of cell competition, the elucidation of the structure of the Hox gene complex and the discovery of mitogenic signalling by apoptotic cells. His work in recent years has been focused on the connection between cell competition and tumorigenesis and on the study of cellular senescence in Drosophila.
The career of Professor Morata has been recognised by a number of prizes and distinctions, including the Spanish National Prize of Research in Biology 2002, the México Prize on Science and Technology 2004, the Prince of Asturias Prize in Science and Technology 2007 and his election as a Foreign Member of the Royal Society of London 2017 and International Member of the US Academy of Sciences 2018.
