ECR Spotlight – Miguel López-Unzu

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Miguel López-Unzu is an author on ‘ The myoarchitecture of the vertebrate cardiac ventricles: evolution and classification’, published in JEB. Miguel conducted the research described in this article while a Postdoctoral Researcher in Prof. Ana Carmen Durán and Prof. Borja Fernández's lab at Universidad de Málaga, Spain. Miguel is now a Postdoctoral Researcher in the lab of Prof. Jorge Alegre-Cebollada at Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares, Spain, investigating the heart muscle, the myocardium, in order to help improve cardiovascular health.
