Fitxa persona

Jose Manuel Morante Redolat received his Bachelor's degree in Biology in 1999 and his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Valencia in 2006. He completed research stays at the National Institute on Aging (Bethesda, USA) and the Montreal Neurological Institute (Canada). After earning his PhD, he worked for two years as Head of R&D at the biotechnology company Sistemas Genómicos S.L. He then joined CIBERNED (Network Center for Biomedical Research on Neurodegenerative Diseases) as a postdoctoral researcher, where he spent eight years in the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory led by Dr. Isabel Fariñas at the University of Valencia.

He is currently Associate Professor (Profesor Titular) of Cell Biology in the Department of Cell Biology and Functional Biology at the University of Valencia. His teaching activities are mainly focused on the Bachelor's Degree in Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, where he has served as Chair of the Academic Committee since the 2023–2024 academic year, and on the Master's Degree in Research and Development in Biotechnology and Biomedicine, where he is a member of the Academic Coordination Committee. He also provides specialized training in biological image analysis techniques through national and international courses.

He currently conducts research at the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory of the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (BIOTECMED) at the University of Valencia, where he studies the molecular mechanisms regulating neural stem cells and adult neurogenesis. He participates in regional, national, and international research projects.
