Alicia Hurtado Madrid

Alicia Hurtado Madrid is a researcher affiliated with the Centro Andaluz de Biología del Desarrollo (CABD).

Education

• Doctorate from the University of Granada (2018) with thesis titled Papel de Sox9, miR-17-92 y sus parálogos en la función testicular (The role of Sox9, miR-17-92 and their paralogs in testicular function), supervised by Dr. Miguel Burgos Poyatos and Dr. Francisco J. Barrionuevo.

Research Interests

Her work centers on Developmental Biology and Reproductive Biology, with specialized focus on genetic regulation of testicular development. She investigates molecular mechanisms involving transcription factors like Sox9 and microRNA clusters (e.g., miR-17-92), integrating Genetics and Molecular Biology to understand sexual differentiation pathways and potential implications for reproductive disorders.
