Ignacio FernandezIgnacio Fernández is a researcher in fish development and molecular biology at the Agro-Technological Institute of Castilla y León (ITACyL), Spain. Dr. Fernández obtained his BS in Marine Sciences from the University of Vigo (Spain) in 2003. His enthsiasm and curiosity for understanding how fish growth and develop led him to get a doctoral degree. He got a fellowship to conduct his PhD at the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA, Spain) in collaboration with the Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer (IFREMER, France), receiving his PhD graduation in Aquaculture at the University of Barcelona (Spain) in 2011. In 2012 won a post-doctoral fellowship from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) at the Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR, Portugal). There, he studied the molecular pathways governing the skeletal development using a multidisciplinary approach. Along his career, Dr. Fernández performed several short stages at different internationally recognized institutions. The different research skills gained all over the years, gave him the possibility to won two Spanish grants of excellence in research: Beatriu de Pinós (2018) and Ramón y Cajal (2019). Currently, Dr. Fernández has coauthored 47 publications in international peer reviewed journals. His main research interests are: i) the development of sustainable aquaculture production; ii) the identification, validation and implementation of integrative biomarkers of fish physiological condition, particularly on nutritional status; and iii) the identification of suitable predictive and diagnosis descriptors of fish quality.
