Research in the laboratory focuses on developing nanoscale tools to study biological systems. These tools include instrumentation based on proximity probes, such as electrochemical tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy and single … Read more
Our research interests are focused on three main aspects of developmental neurobiology and neurodegeneration: development of new lab on chip devices for neurobiological research, new strategies to avoid α-synuclein and tau transport in … Read more
Former group leader: Antonio Juárez 1. Structure and function of bacterial proteins that modulate virulence expression Protein–protein and protein–DNA interactions play key roles in the ability of virulent bacteria to … Read more
We aim at understanding how physical forces and molecular control modules cooperate to drive biological function. We develop new technologies to map and perturb the main physical properties that determine … Read more
