​

The "Cardiac and Skeletal Myogenesis: Muscle Regeneration" research group, works at the University of Jaén, a young and a modern University within the south part of Spain.

​

      In our laboratory, we explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cardiac and skeletal muscle development, and how this knowledge may be used in muscle tissue repair.

​

     In the last years we have mainly focused on the role of a new group of molecules, microRNAs, during cardiac and skeletal muscle formation and how we can use these small molecules as new putative therapeutic tools for muscle diseases treatment and/or repair.    

 

     Recently, we have opened a new lab at Fundación Medina (Granada, Spain) which will let exploring new fields on drug treatment for cardiac and skeletal muscle pathology and regeneration.
