Francisco J. Arjona Madueño obtained his Ph.D.
degree in the field of Animal Physiology in the University of Cádiz
(Spain). During his Ph.D. research (2005-2009) he studied the
control of the osmoregulatory function in the Senegalese sole by
endocrine and environmental factors. In 2009 he wrote a project
proposal for two years to elucidate the mechanisms by which thyroid
hormones traverse plasma membranes in zebrafish. The proposal was
granted by the Ramón Areces Foundation (Spain) and allowed him to
conduct his research in the group of Prof. Gert Flik at the
Department of Animal Physiology (Radboud University Nijmegen). From
the 1st October 2011 Francisco joined the ion transport
group at the Department of Physiology to investigate the in vivo
relevance of novel Mg2+ channels and transporters using
zebrafish as biological model.
