Gene expression and regulation in Streptomyces

The bacteria included in the genus Streptomyces have a great industrial importance due to its wide capacity to produce and secrete various hydrolytic…

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…
