Our group focuses on patho-physiological aspects of cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and arrhythmogenesis. Our goal is to improve the understanding of key genetic and molecular factors underlying the development of pathological changes in cardiac contraction and rhythm We use quantitative electrophysiological techniques such as current- and voltage-clamp techniques as well as confocal imaging techniques in situ and in vitro (live-cell imaging to visualize changes in calcium or membrane potential and immunofluorescent labeling to visualize the distribution of proteins regulating intracel

The Biocompatible Surfactants and Ionic Liquids Group was formed through the merger of two well-established groups with extensive scientific and technological expertise: the Biocompatible Surfactants Group (Code 642566) and the Environmental Chemistry of Surfactants and Ionic Liquids Group (Code 642574). The team comprises two Senior Scientists, two contracted Senior Researchers, one predoctoral researcher, and a fluctuating number of doctoral candidates and trainees.

The Quantum Nanophotonics Laboratory is led by Ikerbasque Research Professor Gabriel Molina-Terriza. We are a team of scientists endeavouring to unveil the physics of the interactions of quantum light and matter at the nanoscale. We experiment with exotic states of light such as single photon states, entangled photons or squeezed states of light and force them to interact with very small structures. We aim to control the quantum features of nanoparticles by exploiting their interaction with light.

Phytochemicals, Bioactivity and Process Development Group is is focused on: - The revalorization of vegetable by-products by the characterization and isolation of their high value components using simple and economically viable processes that not require chemical treatments - The search for sustainable processes based on improving energy consumption, reducing the use of solvents and environmental impact. - The investigation of the biological activities of phytochemicals for the development of new products in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and agricultural sectors For these purposes, foll

The main interest of the Cell Cycle & Cancer Biomarkers laboratory is focused on the cell cycle and cell division machinery and how are interconnected to cancer processes. We pursue the identification of new cancer biomarkers related to cell cycle genes, with the ultimate goal to provide new tools for cancer therapy. https://gdecarcer.wixsite.com/website/research
