Dr. Celia Martínez is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Nutritional Genomics and Epigenomics Group led by Prof. José M. Ordovás at IMDEA Food Institute in Madrid (Spain). She holds a PhD in Neuroscience and a MSc in Molecular Neuroscience with Distinction by the University of Bristol (UK), and a BSc in Biology by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). Her scientific interests span the fields of neuronal plasticity, neurodegeneration, nutrition, and epigenetics. She was awarded the merit-based laboratory internship “Beca de Colaboración” to carry out her research on synaptic remodelling at the Molecular Biology Centre Severo Ochoa (CBMSO) in Madrid (Spain). She later joined the Translational Neuroscience Group led by Prof. Kei Cho at the University of Bristol, to study the role of neuronal receptors in stress-mediated and Alzheimer’s disease-related synaptic impairments. For this study, she was awarded her PhD in 2019. Along with her research activity, Dr. Martínez has taken part in projects involving outreach and teaching to communicate scientific concepts to different audiences. Her current research at IMDEA Food Institute is focused on DNA-methylation fingerprints linked to ultra-processed foods consumption to prevent non-communicable diseases.
