Alba Diz-Muñoz studied human biology at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain and joined the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden, Germany, for her PhD on cell migration in zebrafish embryos, co-supervised by Ewa Paluch and Carl-Philipp Heisenberg. In 2012, Alba moved to California, USA, for her postdoctoral work with Dan Fletcher (UC Berkeley) and Orion Weiner (UCSF) on membrane tension and cellular signalling in neutrophil migration. In 2016, she started her independent research group at the EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany, working on the crosstalk between mechanical properties and cellular signalling for cell and tissue morphogenesis and fate decisions.
