Dr Carlos Clavel

Carlos Clavel received his BS and MS in Biological Sciences from Saint Louis University in the US. He finished his PhD training in the Cell Therapy lab at the University of Navarra, Spain. Thanks to a collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Catherine Verfaillie, he had the opportunity of working with Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells in her groundbreaking laboratories of Minnesota (US) and Leuven (Belgium). At that time, he was focused on the tremendous differentiation potential of human adult stem cells. His research then shifted to understanding how stem cells are instructed to display their potential, and he subsequently joined Dr. Michael Rendl’s laboratory at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York where his research focused on the transcriptional control of the hair inducing fate of Dermal Papilla niche cells. 

Carlos recently joined the Institute of Molecular Biology as a Project Leader where he is starting up his own research group focusing on understanding the regulation of the hair follicle stem cell niche and its implication in novel therapies for skin pigmentation.
