Montserrat Aguadé (Montserrat Aguadé Porres, Barcelona, Spain; 1949) is a professor of genetics at University of Barcelona,[1] and member of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans.[2]

Montserrat Aguadé is internationally recognized for her research in the fields of evolution and population genetics, and together with Richard R. Hudson and Martin Kreitman, she co-developed the HKA test, a statistical test used in genetics to evaluate the predictions of the Neutral theory of molecular evolution[3].

Montserrat Aguadé has published more than 80 scientific articles in prestigious journals in the field of experimental sciences[4], and she has been awarded the National Genetics Award from the Spanish Society of Genetics,[5] and she has been recognized as a distinguished researcher by the Generalitat de Catalunya. Montserrat Aguadé has been the president of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution[6] and the president of the Spanish Society of Genetics, as well as, a member of the direction committee of the Catalan Society of Biology from the Institut de Estudis Catalans.
