Biography

Antonio Figueras is a Research Professor (Profesor de Investigación) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Together with Beatriz Novoa, he leads the Immunology and Genomics group of the Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas (IIM-CSIC, Vigo).

PhD in Biology from the University of Santiago de Compostela, he did his postdoctoral studies at Rutgers University (New Jersey, USA) and completed his training at the Smithsonian Institution (Washington D.C., USA), the University of Aberdeen (UK), Harvard University (Boston, USA) and the School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, USA).

Among other positions, he has been Director of the IIM (2001-2005 and 2015-2018), Vice-President for Scientific and Technical Research of the CSIC (2012-2014), Director of the National Reference Laboratory for Mollusc Diseases (since 1996), Vice-President of the International Society of Developmental and Comparative Immunology (since 2016) and President of the Spanish branch of the European Association of Fish Pathologists (since 1993).

His research lines are aquaculture, fish and mollusc diseases, genomics (he sequenced the complete genome of the first vertebrate in Spain) and biotechnology. He has authored more than 225 SCI articles and 30 books and book chapters (h-index 48, WoK), has been principal investigator of national and European/international projects, and coordinated the Consolider-Ingenio 2010 excellence project "Aquagenomics" (2007-2014). He has supervised more than 20 PhD theses and holds two patents on antimicrobial peptides.

He has an intense science outreach activity (blog "Ciencia Marina y otros asuntos", madri+d) and has organized 9 international conferences. Awards include those of the Diputación Provincial de Pontevedra, the Royal Society, the Real Academia Gallega de Ciencias-Fundación Caixa Galicia, the VI JACUMAR Aquaculture Research Award and the madri+d Best Science Blog award (2010); in 2017 he was named scientist of the year in the "Selección Española de Ciencia".
