Maria Eugenia GALLEGOprofile picture

Maria Gallego is professor of Genetics (PR1) at the University Blaise Pascal at Clermont-Ferrand, France and, with Charles White, co-directs a CNRS/INSERM/University research group studying the mechanisms by which cells maintain the integrity of their genomes. Her PhD at the University Autonoma of Madrid was followed by postdoctoral positions at the MRC London, Harvard Medical School Boston and Centre de Genetic Moleculaire, Gif-sur-Yvette France, working on the regulation of alternative mRNA splicing. In 1996 she started working on the molecular mechanisms of genetic recombination in plants at the University of Paris (Orsay) and moved to the University Blaise Pascal at Clermont-Ferrand in 1998 where she pursues research into the molecular mechanisms responsible for the maintenance of genome integrity in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. She has participated in four european network (EU Framework) grants as well as numerous public and industry funded projects in France.
