Regulation of DNA Replication and DNA Damage Response

To maintain genome integrity, DNA must be protected from damage occurring during replication or induced by environmental agents. Different cellular…

Transcriptional regulation and its connection to other cellular processes

Our research interest is transcription regulation in eukaryotes, using as model organism the budding yeast Saccharomyes cerevisiae. Currently, we…

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…
