Maria Isabel Rodriguez-Moldes Rey

Maria Isabel Rodriguez-Moldes Rey is a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), where she actively contributes to teaching and research in the life sciences. Her academic work is centered in the Faculty of Biology, with a strong focus on the structural and functional development of the nervous system.

Her research interests lie primarily in developmental and regenerative neurobiology, particularly using fish as a model system. She leads the research group focused on the Development and regeneration of the fish nervous system, which explores how neural circuits form during embryogenesis and how they can be restored after injury. These studies contribute to broader fields such as evolutionary neuroscience and regenerative medicine.

This body of work spans disciplines including cell differentiation, neuroanatomy, and model organism biology. Although specific publications are not listed in the current data, the thematic focus suggests consistent contributions to understanding conserved mechanisms of neural development across species.
