Prof. Dr Neus Baena with a strong academic foundation in genetics, anthropology, and biomedical sciences, this scholar has made remarkable contributions to the fields of human genetics, embryology, and molecular diagnostics. With a portfolio of 44 documents, 1048 citations, and an h-index of 17, their research emphasizes the genetic and neurobiological mechanisms underlying human development and disease. Educated and trained at leading Catalonian institutions such as the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universitat de Barcelona, and the Institut Universitari Dexeus, they have completed advanced coursework in biochemistry of reproduction, prenatal diagnosis, neurobiology, genetic engineering, and clinical cytogenetics. Their professional experience spans genetics, anthropology, and clinical biology, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach bridging molecular science and human evolution. Research interests include cytogenetics, genetic pathology, embryological development, and neurogenetics, with a focus on disease mechanisms and evolutionary implications. The researcher has actively participated in specialized programs led by prominent professors like Dr. J.M. Dexeus, Dr. L. Vilageliu, and Dr. R. Miró. Recognized for academic excellence and continuous professional development, they have contributed to expanding the understanding of human biology through rigorous study and laboratory innovation, embodying a commitment to advancing biomedical and anthropological sciences.
