Maria Castejon Griñan

Maria Castejon Griñan is a Researcher at the University of Murcia's Faculty of Medicine, affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 'B' and Immunology. She holds a PhD from the University of Murcia, awarded in 2019 for her thesis on the Melanocortin 1 Receptor's role in protective responses against oxidative stress and UV-induced DNA damage, supervised by Dr. José Carlos García-Borrón Martínez and Dr. Cecilia María Herraiz Serrano.

Her research focuses on melanocytes, oxidative stress mechanisms, and UV radiation impacts, particularly in dermatological contexts. She is part of the 'Melanocytes' research group, exploring molecular pathways linked to skin protection and cellular damage.

No specific grants, awards, or advised students are listed in the provided information. Her work contributes to understanding fundamental biological processes in skin physiology and pathophysiology.
