Margot Martinez Moreno is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Brown University. Originally from Girona, Spain, she completed her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at the University of Barcelona, followed by a master's degree in Advanced Microbiology. She earned her PhD in the Department of Neurochemistry at the Medical School of the University of Barcelona, focusing on Molecular Neuroimmunology. Her doctoral research culminated in the identification of a potassium channel that is ATP-dependent and modulates microglial responses to excitotoxicity, contributing to neuroinflammation. After finishing her thesis, she pursued postdoctoral training in the lab of Dr. Nikos Tapinos, where she was introduced to the field of Epigenetic Regulation of Plasticity in Schwann Cell biology and collaborated on Glioblastoma Research. Her current research is primarily focused on the study of long non-coding RNA and its role in the response of Schwann Cells to injury. At Brown, she has established the Center for Spine Tumor Chordoma Research and serves as the director of the Spine Tumor Epigenetics Research laboratory at Rhode Island Hospital, dedicating her work to understanding the molecular mechanisms behind chordoma.
