María José Cabrera Álvarez completed her PhD in Biology at the Department of Biology of McGill University (Canada), where she received five awards, and her Bachelors in Biology in 2010 at the Faculty of Sciences at Granada University, which included a Master's project in Behaviour and Neuroscience at Utrecht University (The Netherlands) in 2010. She was the Laboratory Manager of two laboratories for three years (McGill and Cambridge Universities) where she coordinated the projects of several researchers (from undergraduate students to post-docs) and managed funding sources of an European Research Council (ERC) grant, and also worked as Scientific Program Manager of and International Conference for Medical Doctors. She is currently a Researcher at the Fish Ethology and Welfare Group at Centro de Ciências do Mar (Portugal) and Vice-President of the FishEthoGroup Association, where she works in the areas of behaviour and welfare of aquatic species. Maria is currently Principal investigator of one project and Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) in anther one, and participates/participated as Researcher in more than 15 projects after her PhD. She was invited to talk at four international events, has published 12 articles in scientific journals, four policy reports, participated in the Spanish Fish Welfare Guides, and published 17 fish welfare profiles in a public database.
