- Guadalupe Sabio Buzo
- Junior group leader
- Ext.2004
Guadalupe Sabio graduated from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the Universidad
de Extremadura in 2000. Her PhD, under the direction of Dr. Ana Cuenda,
was conducted both at the Universidad de Extremadura and at the
MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit in Dundee, UK. Her thesis work demonstrated
the redundant function of p38-gamma and p38 delta, and showed that both
kinases can phosphorylate SAP97 and SAP90.
For her postdoc Guadalupe moved to the University of Massachusetts
Medical School (Worcester, MA), to work with Dr. Roger Davis. Her work in
this period focused on the tissue-specific roles of JNK1, using mice with
conditional deletion of JNK1 in different tissues. Through this work she
was able to make important contributions to the understanding of the tissue-specific
roles of JNK1 and its implication in the pathogenesis of type II diabetes.
Guadalupe returned to Spain in 2009 with a Ramón y Cajal contract
to study diseases associated with obesity (diabetes, cardiovascular disease
and cancer). She joined the CNIC in 2011.
