Short biography
Eva Maria obtained her BSc in Biochemistry in 2007 and PhD in Biomedicine in 2012 in Barcelona (Spain), receiving Extraordinary BSc and PhD prizes, respectively. Funded by EMBO and HFSP, she was postdoctoral fellow at MIT (USA) and the Garvan Institute (Australia). Since 2018, Eva Maria leads the “Epitranscriptomics and RNA Dynamics” laboratory at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Spain. Her laboratory is focused on deciphering the language of RNA modifications, and how its orchestration can regulate our cells in a space-, time- and signal-dependent manner. Eva Maria’s work has been awarded with grants from ERC (2022), AECC (2021), MERCK (2021), MICINN (2018), ARC (2018), HFSP (2014), EMBO (2013) and LaCaixa (2008). She was been awarded with the Young Researcher Prize from SEBBM-IBUB, the Young Researcher Prize from the Catalan Society of Biology (2018), and the Fisher Scientific Young Investigator Prize (2013), among others. She is an EMBO Young Investigator.
