Irene Romero García holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from the Catholic University of Valencia (UCV). She later obtained a Master’s degree in Genomics and Genetics from the University of Vigo (UV).
Irene is currently pursuing her PhD at TR2Lab, where her research focuses on the determination of the biological function of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) extracted from patients with chronic wounds using in vitro cellular models and its relationship with tissue repair.

Adult-specific Reelin expression alters striatal neuronal organization: implications for neuropsychiatric disorders
Autors: Pardo M, Gregorio S, Montalban E, Pujadas L, Elias-Tersa A, Masachs N, Vílchez-Acosta A, Parent A, Auladell C, Girault JA, Vila M, Nairn AC, Manso Y, Soriano E. Front Cell Neurosci. 2023 Apr 20;17:1143319 doi: 10.3389/fncel.2023.1143319 Read More Abstract: In addition to neuronal migration, brain development, and adult plasticity, the extracellular matrix protein Reelin has been extensively implicated in human psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. Moreover, heterozygous reeler mice exhibit features reminiscent of these disorders, while overexpression of Reelin protects against its manifestation. However, how Reelin influences the structure and circuits of the [...]
A key amino acid site associated with rhodopsin mammal evolution to diurnal vision.
Authors: Fernández-Sampedro MA, Ramon E, Aguileta G, Bosch-Presegué L, Garriga P. Sci Rep. 2025 Dec 26;16(1):411 doi:10.1038/s41598-025-29872-9. Read More Abstract Rhodopsin is a photoreceptor protein found in the vertebrate retina used as a landmark for vision evolution studies at the molecular level. Here, we examined the biochemical and functional performance of modern rhodopsin from three different mammal species- bovine, murine and human-to analyze their visual pigment evolutionary relationships. We selected these species for their relevance in vision research, their different position on the phylogenetic tree and their diverse ethology regarding nocturnal (mouse) and diurnal (bovine and human) life.
