Óscar Fernández-Capetillo

Óscar Fernández-Capetillo is a prominent Spanish scientist known for his research in genomics and cancer. He leads the Genomic Instability Group at the National Center for Cancer Research (CNIO) in Spain, where he focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other genetic disorders. His recent work has contributed to new insights into the potential causes of ALS, particularly the role of ribosomal protein accumulation in motor neurons, which could pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies.
