Alfonso Martinez Arias obtained his PhD from the Universidad Complutense in Madrid (Spain), his PhD from the University of Chicago (USA) and postdoctoral training at the MRC LMB in Cambridge (UK). After three decades in Cambridge (UK), in 2020 he moved to the UPF in Barcelona (Spain) where he is currently an ICREA Research Professor. His interests focus on the way cells interact and use Gene Regulatory Networks to build organisms. Working with Pluripotent Stem Cells he developed the ‘gastruloid’ system which is a model for the study of mammalian gastrulation. He is an elected member of EMBO and in 2012 was awarded the Waddington medal for his contributions to developmental biology. He has authored two text books and a popular science book.
