Translational regulation of gene expression and development of yeast strains for biotechnological applications.

We carry out basic research using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as model organism. Using molecular genetics, we currently explore the structure…

Cell growth, division and differentiation

The main interest of our group is to understand how cells coordinate cell growth and division with cell differentiation. To study this biological…

Molecular Neurobiology

Bioenergetics and Oxidative stress

Our laboratory is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate the energetic and redox homeostasis in the cells of the central…

Cell Cycle and Genome Stability

The general aim of our research is to determine the role of several protein phosphatases in the repair of a DNA lession, and their importance in the…

Complexity of life

Our group takes inspiration from the field of Evo-Devo. We approach basic evolutionary questions taking into account the embryological (developmental…

Biodiversity

The ABE programme clearly fits the scope of the area VIDA and we study animal biodiversity from a phylogenetic perspective, aiming at an increased…

Complex Systems

Our main goal is to explore the origins of the complexity on the biologic systems, searching for possible underlying universal laws in the emergence…

Genomes populations & species

Our research is based on the study of human genetic variation and its diversity. The purpose of the studies carried out in our group is to…

Dynamics of Cell Division

Cell division requires the proper spatio-temporal coordination between mitosis and citokinesis to allow the correct inheritance of the genetic…
