Mariam Ibáñez Company
Dra. Mariam Ibáñez, obtained her Ph.D. in Biology at Universitat de València (2013). Then, she continued her career as postdoctoral researcher in the hematopoietic field working at IISLAFE, Kings College London, (UK), and, recently, CIBERONC.
Since 2009, Dr. Ibáñez has combined clinical and research work, focusing her career on the study of the genetic alterations in oncohematological diseases, mainly, the biological characterization of acute leukemias and myelodysplastic syndromes. Her most relevant milestone in these priority research lines was the hematopoietic cell characterization of two leukemogenic models that represent a paradigm of neoplasia, such as acute promyelocytic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia without cytogenetic alterations with both phenotypes lacking mutations in genes with a well-established pathogenic role.
Mariam Ibáñez has made important contributions to the hematological field, authored or coauthored more than 30 publications in high impact factor journals and more than 75 reports at international and national meetings. To date, she has participated in 18 different Public Funded Projects (14 nationals and 4 internationals; PI in one of them) focused on the characterization of patients with hematologic malignancies by next generation sequencing. In all of them, potential genetic alterations in hematologic diseases have been discovered. Recently, Dr. Ibáñez has participated in the development of the first transnational clinical guidelines for the application of next generation sequencing in the diagnosis of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. Dr. Ibáñez also participates actively in various scientific societies, such as the SEHH, the AEGH, the GESMD and the GCECGH.
Currently, Dra Ibáñez is an associate professor at the CEU Cardenal Herrera University, in the Nursing, Medicine and Odontology degrees, in the bilingual line. She has organized 5 International Student Congresses at CEU Cardenal Herrera University, has led 3 Bachelor final projects, 3 Master’s final project and is leading 2 doctoral theses.
