Rafael Rodríguez Daga

Rafael Rodríguez Daga is a Professor at the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemical Engineering at the University of Pablo de Olavide. He is affiliated with the Andalusian Center for Developmental Biology (CABD), where he contributes to research in the ORGEHOEVO group focused on genomic organization, homeostasis, and evolution. His work has previously involved the CDCGEN group studying cell division genetics.

• PhD, University of Malaga (1999)
• Supervised by Dr. Juan Jiménez

His research focuses on nuclear architecture, chromosome segregation, and DNA repair mechanisms in fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe). Key areas include the role of microtubules in nuclear dynamics, the regulation of kinetochores, and the implications of nuclear envelope mechanics on genome stability.

Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding meiotic spindle disassembly, nuclear pore complex functions, and proteasomal regulation in mitotic processes. The articles span topics from virtual nuclear envelope breakdown to the impact of Alm1 nucleoporin on proteasome localization and kinetochore homeostasis.
