María Laura Robles Gómez

María Laura Robles Gómez serves as an Assistant Professor in the Biotechnology Department at the University of Alicante, where she teaches across multiple biology-related degree programs including Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Marine Sciences, Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Medicine, and Nursing. Her academic appointments span numerous courses with recent teaching activity documented through 2025.

Her educational background includes:

• Master's in Evaluation and Research in Organizations and Learning Contexts (University of Cádiz and Salamanca, 2022)
• PhD in Health Sciences (University of Alicante, 2022)
• Master's in Secondary Education Teaching (University of Alicante, 2017)
• Master's in Human Fertility (University of Alicante, 2016)
• Bachelor's in Biology (University of Alicante, 2015)

Dr. Robles Gómez's research focuses on reproductive biology with particular emphasis on sperm physiology, protein localization in gametes, and the histophysiology of the reproductive system. Her work employs advanced techniques including immunofluorescence, proteomics, and electron microscopy to investigate molecular mechanisms of fertilization. She has made significant contributions to understanding sperm protein dynamics during capacitation and acrosome reaction across multiple species including humans, rabbits, pigs, and zebrafish.

Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent research productivity with 15 journal articles in the past five years, primarily investigating sperm biology and reproductive mechanisms. Her work demonstrates interdisciplinary approaches bridging cell biology, histology, and reproductive medicine, with increasing focus on molecular characterization of sperm proteins essential for fertilization. Recent publications show progression from human reproductive studies to comparative analyses across mammalian and aquatic species.

She actively participates in research projects including as Coordinator of the project 'Formation for the Study of New Sperm Biomarkers and Their Application in Assisted Reproduction' (2019-2021), and as Collaborator in multiple projects including the XXII Congress of the Spanish Society of Histology (2024), research on Posidonia oceanica extracts for tomato quality improvement (2025), and the SAX Science Fair (2025).

Dr. Robles Gómez supervises undergraduate research projects, with three final year projects supervised or co-supervised in the past five years. She is a member of the Cellular, Tissue, Evolutionary and Reproductive Biology (BioTER) research group at the University of Alicante, where her work contributes to advancing understanding of fundamental reproductive processes with potential applications in assisted reproductive technologies.
