Overview
[edit]Crisanto Gutiérrez (born in 1955) is an Spanish cellular and molecular biologist considered a key figure in genome replication, chromatin dynamics and cell cycle regulation for his scientific contributions in the plant model Arabidopsis thaliana. He is currently a Professor of Research at the Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (CSIC-UAM) in Madrid, Spain.[1][2][3]
Biography
[edit]Crisanto Gutiérrez Armenta was born in October 12th of 1955 in Alcalá de los Gazules (Cádiz, Spain).
Education and Early Career
[edit]Gutiérrez obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the Universidad de Sevilla in 1977. He obtained his PhD in Biological Sciences from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 1980, conducting his doctoral research at the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas (CSIC, Madrid) under the supervision of Jorge López-Sáez, with a focus on sister chromatid exchanges and their biological significance.[4]
Following his PhD, he held a faculty position as an Assistant Professor in Cell Biology at the Universidad de Alcalá (1982-1986). He later moved to the United States, where he conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts) and the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology (Nutley, New Jersey) (1986-1990) under the mentorship of Melvin DePamphilis, investigating the mechanisms of DNA replication in oncogenic viruses.
Research and Career
[edit]Upon returning to Spain in 1991, Gutiérrez joined the Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBM, CSIC-UAM) and became a Research Professor from the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) in 2002. During his early years at CBM he contributed to the understanding of φ29 DNA polymerase function in DNA replication in the laboratory of Margarita Salas. From 2004 to 2008, he served as Director of the Instituto de Biología Molecular Eladio Viñuela (CSIC). Since 2009, he has led the Genome Dynamics and Function program at the CBM.
Between 1993 and 1996, his group identified the presence of tumor suppressor genes (retinoblastoma) in plants, leading to a paradigm shift in the understanding of cell cycle regulation in eukaryotic cells. His research focus spread to multiple cell proliferation and genome replication pathways including the E2F pathway and the spatiotemporal regulation of DNA replication factors ORC1, CDC6, and CDT1. Nowadays, the focus of the lab includes the understanding how cell division and DNA replication integrate with development, and how chromatin organization influence these processes. Their work combines molecular, cellular, genetic, and genomic approaches to study the functional properties of DNA replication origins and chromatin dynamics during organogenesis, aiming to provide fundamental insights applicable to other eukaryotic models.
Awards and Recognition
[edit]Gutiérrez has received multiple prestigious awards and honors, including:
- Fundación Domingo Martínez Research Prize (1998)[5]
- Election as an EMBO Member (1999)[6]
- Fundación Carmen y Severo Ochoa Molecular Biology Prize (2008)[7]
- Corresponding Membership in the Real Academia de Medicina y Cirugía de Cádiz (2009)[8]
- Election as member of Sociedad Española de Bioquimica y Biologia Molecular (2012)[9]
- Election as a Member of European Academy (2020), later serving as Chair of the Cell and Developmental Biology Section.[10]
- Election as EMBO Council (2020-2022, 2023-)[11]
- Margarita Salas Prize and Medal for Mentorship (2022)[12]
Editorial and Scientific Contributions
[edit]Gutiérrez has been an editor for major scientific journals, including The EMBO Journal and The Plant Journal, and has served on the review boards of leading funding agencies such as the European Research Council (ERC). He has also been actively involved in the organization of international conferences on plant molecular biology and genome regulation.
Publications and Impact
[edit]Gutiérrez has published over 100 research articles in high-impact journals, including Science, Nature, The Plant Cell, and EMBO Journal. His work has been widely cited, with an h-index of 54 and over 10,000 citations.[13]
