Virginia Amador
About me
FPI pre-doctoral fellow, and 2001 PhD Thesis at the IBMB, Barcelona. 2013-today, R3B-principal group leader at the “Functional characterization of oncogenic mechanisms in lymphomagenesis” research group at the oncology and haematology IDIBAPS-department, Barcelona, Spain. Successfully, I have established independent lines of research, recognized in 2013 by the ANEP-I3 program from the Spanish government; and by the Generalitat de Catalunya as Emergent (2014).
In 2017, I was selected as a member of the MCL Consortium at the Lymphoma Research Foundation and the European MCL Network, which brings together the most influential group leaders in the study of lymphomas.
