Biography edit

Bolaños Rodríguez was born in 1980 in Bogotá, Colombia, and grew up there.[1] At age 19, she enrolled in the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano at the campus in Santa Marta on the Caribbean side of Colombia. After completing her undergraduate work with a thesis on flatworms,[2] in 2003, Bolaños continued her education at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) in the United States.[3] She received her PhD in zoology from UNH in Durham, New Hampshire, in 2008 with an Award for Excellence in Research from the Department of Zoology.[1] Her research focused on polyclad flatworms,[4] a marine worm which is unique in its ability to generate tissue through stem cells.[1]

She married an American, Joseph Dunn,[5] whom she had met while in New Hampshire, and in 2008 returned to Colombia to continue her research, completing a database of flatworm species and their taxonomic groups. Bolaños also took a teaching post as a visiting professor for the University of the Andes (Uniandes).[2]

In 2010, she was awarded a L'Oréal-UNESCO Fellowship for Women in Science[1][6] and she used the award to complete her postdoctoral research at Uniandes. Bolaños then took a post as an assistant professor in the Biology Program at the Universidad de Cartagena.[4] In 2012, she was named Colombian biologist of the year[3] and in 2013 was named one of the top ten women scientists in Latin America by the BBC.[7]

Bolaños has continued her research and is working on comparisons between polyclads, planarians and other types of platyhelminths and their abilities to regenerate.[4] In addition, she has published numerous articles in international, peer-reviewed journals such as Evolution & Development, the Journal of Natural History and Zootaxa in the areas of evolution and biological systematics,[3] as well as continuing her education at courses such as the Society for Developmental Biology short course held in Montevideo, Uruguay.[4] The flatworm Bisacculosuteri marcelae was named in her honor in 2019.[8]
