Antonio Bernad Miana studied Chemical Sciences at the Universidad
de Zaragoza and moved to the Universidad Autónoma
de Madrid to specialize in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
(1980-84). He went on to complete his PhD (1985-89) at the Centro
de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (Madrid) under the
supervision of Margarita Salas and Luis Blanco. From 1990 to 1993
he worked as a Senior Researcher in the Department of Biological
Effects at the Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas,
Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (CIEMAT) in Madrid, where
he developed techniques for somatic gene transfer to hematopoieitc
stem cells. In 1993 he was an invited researcher at the Center for
Blood Research at Harvard Medical School, after which, in 1994, he
joined the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CNB)
in Madrid as a CSIC Científico Titular. At the CNB,
first in the Department of Molecular Biology and later in the Department
of Immunology and Oncology, he built and directed a research team
focused on the biology of hematopoietic and mesechymal stem cells
and their use in tissue engineering. In 2006 he was promoted to Profesor
