Description

Rosa María Señarís Rodríguez, Full Professor of Physiology of the University of Santiago de Compostela since 2007.
She was born in Santiago de Compostela (A Coruña). She studied Medicine at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Prize of Graduate in Medicine and Surgery, Royal National Academy of Medicine. Foundation López Sánchez). In the same University she realized her Doctoral Theses in the Program of Neuroscience under the supervision of Professor Carlos Diéguez and Professor Fernando Domínguez on the hypothalamic regulation of postnatal somatic growth (Prize of Doctorate in Medicine and Surgery, Royal National Academy of Medicine. Foundation López Sánchez). After obtaining her PhD and MD degree in 1990, she realized a postdoctoral stay at the Medical Research Council of Cambridge (UK) in the Neuroscience group directed by Dr. P.C. Emson, studying the somatostatin receptors in the brain. She then improved her training in cellular and molecular neuroscience with stays in other research centers (Department of Neurosciences, University of Aarhus, Denmark; Department of Medicine, University of McGill, Montreal, Canada). Her line of research has mainly focused in different fields of neuroendocrinology: regulation of the somatic growth, control of food intake, metabolism and body weight. In these last years she has been working in the pathophysiology of obesity, trying to find new research therapeutic targets for this illness, and in the relationship obesity/metabolism and cancer.
