HiLIFE Webinar: Guillermina López Bendito

​The thalamus that speaks to the cortex: spontaneous activity in the developing brain  

Dra. Guillermina López Bendito is a CSIC Investigator and group Leader at the Developmental Neurobiology Unit in the Institute of Neuroscience (IN) of Alicante, Spain. During her PhD, she worked on the role and precise cellular and subcellular localization of neurotransmitter receptors during pre-and postnatal development of the cerebral cortex. Subsequently, as a postdoctoral researcher she joined the laboratory of Dr. Zoltán Molnar in the Department of Human Anatomy & Genetics at Oxford University (UK) from 2001-2004 where she trained in axon guidance mechanisms and the development of the thalamocortical connectivity. In 2004, she obtained a prestigious “Ramón y Cajal” semi-independent position at the IN in Alicante in the laboratory of Prof Oscar Marin where she started to develop her own research line on the mechanisms involved in thalamocortical axon circuitry formation. Since 2008, she is group leader at the IN where her teamruns several related projects to uncover the principles underlying thalamocortical axonal wiring, maintenance and ultimately the rewiringof connections, through an integrated and innovative experimental programme. The central hypothesis of her laboratory is that thalamocortical input determines several aspects of the development of sensory cortical areas and underlaying circuits.(see Sci Adv 2021, Science 2019, Nat Comm 2017; Cer Cortex 2016; EMBO Reports 2015; Nat Neurosci 2012; J Neurosci 2012; Curr Biol 2011; Neuron 2011; PLoS Biology 2009, J Neurosci 2007, Cell 2006). Her research is supported by grants from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Innovation, and the European Research Council. She is the recipient of awards including ‘IBRO-KEMALI prize 2017, Joseph Altman prize 2018, ‘Alberto Sols Award 2021. She is an EMBO Member and a FENS-Kavli alumn.
