Neuroscientist specialized in studying the anatomy and development of the olfactory system, as well as the pathology ocurring in olfactory areas during Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. He obtained his PhD working on the use of olfactory ensheathing cells and biomaterial bridges to repair of spinal cord injuries.

Eduardo Martin-Lopez is currently an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Neurosurgery at Yale University, and a visiting assistant profesor in Neuroscience & Behavior. He earned the equivalent in US to a Bachelor of Science at the University of Salamanca (ES), and his PhD in Neuroscience in the Department of Neural Plasticity under the supervision of Prof. Manuel Nieto-Sampedro at the Cajal Institute in Madrid (ES), and in the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Neuroscience at the Autonomous University of Madrid (ES). In his thesis, he pioneered in the use of biomaterials derived from chitosan as tools to repair spinal cord injuries. Later, he pursued his scientific career as a postdoc first in the laboratory of Prof. Laura Lopez-Mascaraque at the Cajal Institute in Madrid, where he investigated the embryonic origin of the olfactory ensheathing cells during the development of the olfactory system; and later studying the development of the cochlea in the inner ear in the laboratory of Prof. Andrew K. Groves at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston (TX). He finally moved to New Haven where he is currently investigating the developmental mechanisms to form the olfactory (or piriform) cortex in the laboratory of Charles A. Greer at Yale University.
