Enrique Lara-Pezzi graduated in Chemistry at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (1995) and obtained his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the same University in 2000. During his PhD studies, carried out in Manuel López-Cabrera's laboratory at the Hospital Universitario de la Princesa in Madrid, he investigated the contribution of the hepatitis B virus HBx protein to the immune response and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. After a first postdoctoral period in Dr. López-Cabrera's laboratory, during which he continued the study of the HBx protein, he moved to the laboratory of Prof. Nadia Rosenthal (European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Monterotondo, Italy) to study the contribution of the calcineurin isoform CnAß1 to skeletal muscle regeneration (2003-2006). With funding from the Marie Curie Programme, Enrique subsequently moved to Nadia Rosenthal's laboratory at the Heart Science Centre (Imperial College London), where he investigated the molecular mechanisms that mediate heart failure and cardiac regeneration (2006-2009). Enrique joined the CNIC in 2009.
