Molecular mechanisms regulating plant resistance against phytopathogenic bacteria

Oncogenic Signaling and Theraphy Resistance

Our group is interested in studying how cell signalling (e.g. MAPK, AKT) can affect the malignant transformation process. To this end, we have…

Thyroid Hormones and the Central Nervous System

Study of the role of thyroid hormones in the organism, specially in the brain, and the physiopathological conditions arising from disturbances in…

Microenvironment and metastasis

Our group investigates how the tumour microenvironment influences cancer progression, metastatic spread, and resistance to therapy. We focus on the…

Molecular basis of adaptation

Our lab is focused on adaptive and evolutionary aspects of integrons, beautiful bacterial machineries that act as low-cost memories and serve…

Microtubule Dynamics

Microtubules provide essential mechanical support and drive key processes like cell division and intracellular transport. Our research explores how…

Mitochondrial gene expression and disease

Plant bio-factories as a sustainable source of high-value compounds

Engineering plant bio-factories as a sustainable source of high-value compounds Plants have played a vital role in human history providing us with…

Effect of viral and host factors on innate immunity, respiratory virus replication and pathogenesis

Influenza viruses and coronaviruses are respiratory pathogens with drastic health and economic consequences for many animal species, including humans…

Light signalling and plant adaptation to the environment

As sessile photoautotrophic organisms, plants evolved sophisticated strategies to perceive light environmental signals and to transduce them into…
