José Antonio López Guerrero (JAL) (born Madrid, 1962) is a researcher and Associate Professor of Microbiology at the Department of Molecular Biology at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), and director of the Scientific Culture Department of the Molecular Biology Center Severo Ochoa (CBMSO) and a collaborator in several scientific cultural programs on radio, television and in the press.

Education

After finishing his secondary studies in Hanover (Germany), and at the Cervantes institute (Madrid), Prof. López Guerrero studied Biology (BSc Biochemistry) at the Autonomous University of Madrid (1980–1985). His Ph.D. research was conducted at CBMSO and concerned the scientific field of immunovirology; 1989 -special award 1990-. Subsequently, he moved as a postdoctoral researcher to the Center for Biological Research (CIB-CSIC, 1990–1993) and The German Center of Cancer Research (DKFZ, 1993–1996). When Prof. López Guerrero returned to the UAM, he was given several positions as Assistant Professor and Head of science communication programs. In 2001 he became an Associate Professor and since 2003 he has directed, as Group leader, a small research laboratory on Neurovirology. Prof. López Guerrero coordinated, between 2006–2009, the Scientific Culture Unit of the UAM and since 2006 the Department of the same name at the CBMSO.
