About me

Miguel Fernández de la Torre is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mechanics of Continuous Media and Theory of Structures at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). Graduated in Health Biology from the Universidad Alcalá de Henares, he carried out his doctoral thesis in Neuroscience at the Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre, in a clinical and translational research framework. During this period, his research activity focused on searching for the causes of neuronal death in models of neurodegeneration and mitochondrial disease, with the aim of seeking new therapeutic approaches for these pathologies, such as exercise training or pharmacological treatments, among others. Recently, he has joined the 4D- BIOMAP project, led by Dr. Daniel García González (UC3M), focusing his research on the use of smart magnetoactive devices and their applications in biomedical research. Specifically, he evaluates the impact of mechanical forces on the function and activity of cells from nervous systems, as well as on the processes of cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. His hobbies include organizing trips, reading, sports and hiking.
