Interview with our project coordinator Conchi Serrano
Our project coordinator Conchi Serrano (ICMM‑CSIC) was recently featured in an in‑depth interview by Mujeres de Ciencia, a Spanish platform dedicated to highlighting the work and perspectives of women researchers.
Please note: The full interview is in Spanish.
For everyone who doesn’t speak Spanish, here is a short overview.
In the interview, Conchi shares insights into her research on spinal cord injury, a field that demands highly innovative and interdisciplinary strategies. She explains how advanced biomaterials and collaborative approaches across disciplines are essential to push neural regeneration research forward and to tackle challenges that cannot be solved from a single scientific perspective.
Beyond the scientific aspects, the conversation also touches on career paths in research, the importance of visibility for women in science, and the personal experiences that shape a life in academia. Conchi emphasizes that real progress—both scientifically and structurally—comes from teamwork, diversity of expertise, and long‑term commitment.
