Short biography
Aroa Casado Rodríguez has a doctorate in Medicine and Translational Research at the Department of Anatomy and Embryology at the University of Barcelona. She has a postgraduate degree in Neuroeducation at the Faculty of Psychology (University of Barcelona), postgraduate degree in Specific Learning, Learning Difficulties and Neurodevelopmental Disorders in IDP (University of Barcelona), Master in Biological Anthropology at the Faculty of Biology (University of Barcelona). She’s graduated in Archeology from the University of Barcelona and in Philosophy from the University of Barcelona. Her current research career is primarily studying the human upper extremity from an evolutionary perspective. Currently, during her postdoctoral training, her research facet is divided between a line of clinical research in the upper extremity and a line of research in dysmorphologies in Rare Diseases.
