Notes
Birth

José-Antonio Campos-Ortega (1940–2004) was a German neurobiologist born in Valencia, Spain shortly after the Spanish Civil War. He was known as a pioneer of developmental-genetic studies of early neurogenesis.

Campos-Ortega attended a Dominican religious school for his secondary education (roughly ages 12 to 16). In 1958 (at 18) he started studying Medicine, which had been a tradition in his family and a financial necessity in Spain of the period; this pursuit was at the cost of setting aside his burgeoning interest in histology and research.
