\"Juanma-Vaquerizas-webJuanma (Spanish short form for \u2018Juan Manuel\u2019) studied Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid<\/a>, Spain. His group is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate the three dimensional organisation of chromatin in the
\nnucleus and how these function during development (see Hug et al., 2017<\/a>) or are affected in disease (eg. D\u00edaz, Kruse et al., 2018<\/a>). Juanma received his PhD from the Spanish National Cancer Centre<\/a> and Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid<\/a> (2008) where he worked on the characterisation of the human transcription factor repertoire (Vaquerizas et al., 2009<\/a>). Juanma trained as a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Nick Luscombe<\/a> at the EMBL \u2013 European Bioinformatics Institute<\/a> in Cambridge, UK. Here, in collaboration with Asifa Akhtar<\/a>\u2019s laboratory he focused on the study of the dosage compensation mechanism in Drosophila melanogaster<\/em> (Kind, Vaquerizas et al., 2008<\/a>; Vaquerizas, Suyama, Kind et al., 2010<\/a>). Since 2012, Juanma is a Max Planck Research Group Leader at the MPI in Muenster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On top of science, Juanma also enjoys cycling, tech-stuff and playing the guitar with his band.<\/p>\n
