Marta Nieto López is a principal investigator at the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (Madrid, Spain) and the group leader of the ‘Cerebral Cortical Development’ lab. Marta and her team aim to define the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern the generation of neurons and circuits of the mammalian cerebral cortex.
In collaboration with other research groups, they study models of cell migration. Her research provides basic knowledge neural specification and circuit formation mechanisms, the potential programmes for reprogramming neurons, and the specific advantages and plasticity of the human brain.
