Short biography

Alejo Rodriguez-Fraticelli received his PhD from the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid in 2014, working with Miguel Alonso and Fernando Martin-Belmonte on epithelial morphogenesis. In 2015, Alejo moved to Harvard University to train as a postdoc with Fernando Camargo in hematopoietic development and lineage tracing. During this time, Alejo began a long-lasting collaboration with Caleb Weinreb and Allon Klein at Harvard Medical School, characterizing blood stem cells using single-cell profiling. In 2021, Alejo was recruited as a junior group leader at IRB Barcelona, expanding the Programme of Aging and Metabolism. During his career, Alejo received major grants and awards, including the LSRF Research Fellowship, the ASH Scholar Award, the LLS Special Fellowship, the NHLBI K99 Award, the Cris Excellence Award, and the ERC Starting Grant. Since 2023, Alejo is ICREA Research Professor.
