Proteolysis Lab

The work carried out in the lab is centered on the analysis of proteins, mainly proteases - including integral membrane proteases-, their zymogens, and their complexes with small-molecule and protein inhibitors at the molecular level. Another line of research deals with bacterial virulence factors and antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Employed techniques include molecular biology, biochemistry, and X-ray crystallography. The lab is fully furnished with state-of-the-art equipment, enabling us to carry out cutting-edge science projects.
