Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Personalized Rheumatology

The group led by Dr. Concepción Marañón at the GENYO Center in Granada, Spain, is interested in hosting two MSCA Fellows.

Dr. Concepción Marañón is a Senior Research at GENYO, working in the field of translational immunology in rheumatic diseases, with a particular focus on systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis. Her research spans urinary liquid biopsy, cellular and animal models, and single‑cell immunology. Trained in immunology, molecular biology, and scientific communication, she has developed a strong profile in synthesizing complex clinical, genomic, and epidemiological data for translational applications. She has authored over 78 peer‑reviewed publications, and has participated in or led multiple competitive research projects at the national and international level. She collaborates closely with academic groups, nephrology and rheumatology units, and biotechnology companies, contributing to a research ecosystem that integrates mechanistic insight with clinical applicability to improve early diagnosis, patient stratification, and therapeutic decision‑making in autoimmune diseases.
