Dr. Esther Isorna

My research focusses on the circadian system and its interaction with the neuroendocrine system. During my PhD, I worked at the Complutense University of Madrid (with stages in the Laboratoire de Neurobiologie des Rythmes of Strasbourg and in the Institute Océanologique of Banyuls, France) on the seasonal control of melatonin receptors in the frog (Rana perezi). My postdoctoral training was at the Laboratoire Aragó CNRS-UPMC (France) and the Marine and Environmental Science Faculty in the Universidad de Cádiz with some stages at Instituto Alberto Sols (Madrid, CSIC), working on flatfish (sole) metamorphosis and its dependence of thyroid hormones and melatoninergic system. Currently, I am working in the Research Group “Fish Neuroendocrinology” at UCM, working on circadian organization in teleost and its interplay with the homeostatic and, more recently, the hedonic control of food intake.
