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 ...

In 2003 he formed the NBL with a Principal Investigator grant from SFI and funding from the Centre for Bioanalytical Sciences (an industry -academic collaboration). The research group focusses on the use of photonics and chemometrics technologies for life and physical science applications. In the Analytical Sciences, the primary emphasis is developing rapid, quantitative analytical methods for the analysis of complex materials with particular focus on biopharmaceutical manufacturing and he has ...

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). ...

Dr. Francisco Valero isfull professor of the Department of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
