DESCRIPTION:Miguel Torres trained in Drosophila Genetics during his PhD (1
 991) with Dr. Lucas Sánchez (CIB-CSIC\, Madrid) and later in Mouse Develo
 pmental Genetics during his Postdoc at the MPI with Dr Peter Gruss.  He es
 tablished an independent research group at the National Center for Biotech
 nology\, CSIC\, Madrid in 1996 and moved in 2007 to CNIC where he now coor
 dinates the Cardiovascular Regeneration Program.  His group has a strong f
 ocus on understanding organ development and regeneration. Dr Torres group 
 characterized the role of homeobox genes and signaling pathways in establi
 shing positional information along the limb proximo-distal axis during dev
 elopment and regeneration. A second topic of interest has been understandi
 ng the role of cell death in embryonic development. The group demonstrated
  the conservation of cell death pathways in metazoan evolution and demonst
 rated the relevance of cell death and cell competition in mammalian tissue
  homeostasis and regeneration. The group has also developed clonal analysi
 s strategies and live imaging tools that allowed defining new lineage rela
 tionships and tissue dynamics in limb and cardiovascular development.
