In this
Spanish name , the first or paternal
surname is
Morata and the second or maternal family name is
Pérez .
Ginés Morata Pérez
ForMemRS
[2] is Research
Professor at the
Autonomous University of Madrid in Spain
[3]
[1] and an expert in
developmental biology of the
fruit fly (Drosophila ) , a specialty he has worked on for over 40 years.
[2]
[4]
Education
Morata was educated at the
Universidad Laboral de Sevilla [
es ] and the
Complutense University of Madrid . He was awarded a PhD in 1973 for research on the
heredity in the fruit fly
Drosophila supervised by
Antonio Garcia-Bellido .
[5]
Career and research
As of 2017
[update] , his research focuses on cell competition,
[6]
[7] especially in relation to
apoptosis and
carcinogenesis .
[8]
[9]
[10] His lab also does experimental analysis of regeneration in the
imaginal discs .
Morata has been involved in several major discoveries, including the discovery of
developmental compartments ,
[11] the phenomenon of cell competition, the connection between genes and compartments, the elucidation of the structure of the
Hox gene complex, and the discovery of
mitogenic signalling by
apoptotic cells. He worked for several years in the
United Kingdom , doing
postdoctoral research at the
Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) of the
Medical Research Council (MRC) at the
University of Cambridge with
Peter Lawrence .
[12]
[2]
Awards and honours
He has been awarded numerous honorary doctorates and prizes, including the Spanish National Prize for Research in Biology (2002), the Mexico Prize for Science and Technology (2004) and the
Prince of Asturias Prize for Science and Technology (2007). He was elected a
Foreign Member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS) in 2017 .
[2] In 2018, he was elected a foreign associate of the U.S.
National Academy of Sciences .
