Marisa Madrid obtained her PhD in Biology in 2007 (University of Murcia), funded by MECD with an FPU contract. For her postdoctoral training she joined Professor Iain Hagan Cell Division group (CRUK Manchester Institute) for 38 months, funded by EMBO with a Long-term Fellowship. In 2011 she obtained a “Juan de la Cierva” Fellowship and returned to the Microbial Physiology Group in the University of Murcia.

Her research line has been focused on understanding the functional connections established in the cell between critical signaling cascades in response to harsh environmental situations. Genomic and proteomic studies have improved the awareness of the complexity of the cellular signaling processes that classically have been analysed in a modular linear manner. Therefore, research oriented to decipher how these signaling routes crosstalk to generate specific adaptive responses that improve cellular survival is critical to many areas of Biology.

The PhD thesis of M. Madrid created a new research line in her group, the analysis of the regulation of the PKC-Cell Integrity pathway, in which excellent research results were obtained, including 3 first author papers, 10 papers as co-author and a book chapter. She performed a detailed study on the mechanisms of activation and deactivation of the SAPK and PKC-Cell Integrity cascades in response to stress, and how these two pathways interact with each other in order to generate an appropriate molecular response. Indeed, she described for the first time the existence of a molecular crosstalk between two MAPK pathways, which was awarded with the Fleming Award in 2008 (Spanish Society of Microbiology). These results were published in the Journal of Biochemical Chemistry (2004, 2006) and Molecular Biology of the Cell (2007). During her PhD period, she enjoyed two research internships in Prof. Jonathan Millar’s group in the National Institute for Medical Research (London) and Prof. Paul Nurse’s group in the Rockefeller University (New York).

During her postdoctoral period in Manchester she continued working in signaling but on cellular division control, trying to understand how intra- and extracellular signals are integrated at the spindle pole body to control entry into mitosis. In particular, she analyzed how Cut12, a spindle pole body component, is regulated by phosphorylation during mitosis. Parts of her results were presented in an invited conference and published in Current Biology (2013), showing that Cut12 phosphorylation on T75 and T78, which is dependent on CDK and NIMA kinase, blocks Cut12 association with PP1 positively enhancing mitotic commitment. In addition, Cut12 is phosphorylated in two additional essential sites critical for spindle activation (manuscript in preparation).

Since 2011, Dr. Madrid leads a research line focused on the interaction of the PKC-Cell Integrity pathway with other signaling cascades (TOR, PKA, HSP90) when cells are exposed to membrane or cell wall damaging compounds. In this period, she has published 3 papers as a first author (BMC Microbiology -2013-; Journal of Cell Science -2015-; Scientific Reports -2016-), 8 as a co-author and 1 as last author (Cellular Signalling, 2015). This research project has been funded by the Fundación Séneca (18976/JLI/13).

In the last years, she has been actively collaborating with international groups working in related areas such as those leaded by Rafael Carazo (University of Cambridge, paper under revision) and James Moseley (Dartmouth Medical School, Journal of Biological Chemistry 2015). Furthermore, M. Madrid is actively involved in the management and direction of research, by having supervised several PhD, Master, and undergraduate students.
