Associated Professor Department of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering Engineering School Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)

WP leader of "Communication, Outreach and Dissemination" and Head of the Italian Joint Laboratory ProtEnz.

The research activity of Dr. B. Cobucci Ponzano concerns the study of the structure / function relationship of proteins and enzymes and of the mechanistic aspects related to hydrolysis and to enzymatic synthesis of glycosides. In particular, it deals with enzymes that modify carbohydrates (glycosidase) mainly from (hyper) thermophilic microorganisms, especially Archaea. In the lasts years, ...

French born and bred (cheese and wine included), I have been developing a wide pallet of skills thought my versatile professional career, both in France and abroad, including long-term expat experience in the UK and Mexico. Fluent in French, English & Spanish and well-travelled, I've always been enthusiastic about broadening my horizons, learning new things and taking on challenges. With an initial educational background in Applied Languages and Executive studies, I added Business Administration ...

RESEARCH INTERESTS • Biogenesis and evolution of cellular compartments, mainly focused on synthesis and deposition of seed storage proteins: i) biogenesis of protein bodies in cereal seeds; ii) nutritional quality; ii) allergenic/antinutritional potential • Endoplasmic Reticulum Quality Control (ERQC) and Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) in plants • Membrane protein synthesis, sorting and targeting (channels/transporters; tail-anchored proteins) • Comparative Cell Biology • Molecular farming: ...

I am trying to establish novel therapeutic avenues to cure a broad spectrum of rare diseases.

Each rare disease patient potentially benefitting from the therapeutic approach I propose carries a missense mutation in a glycoprotein gene. The mutation impairs fold of the mutate glycoprotein but does not abrogate its function (responsive mutation).

My idea is that modulators of Endoplasmic Reticulum glycoprotein folding Quality Control (ERQC) and/or of Endoplasmic Reticulum Associated Degradation ...

Dr. Maria Suarez Diez is assistant professor at the Laboratory of Systems and Synthetic Biology at Wageningen University & Research.

Dr. Suarez Diez studied physics and obtained her PhD at the Physics Department of the University of Oviedo (Spain) in 2006. Her thesis work was on the cosmological implications of (super)string theory. Then she held post-doc positions at Ecole Polytechnique (France), at Helmholtz Zentrum (Germany) and at Wageningen University & Research (the Netherlands). ...
