ICREA Researcher at IRB (Institut de Recerca Biomèdica de Barcelona). Life & Medical Sciences

I was born in Barcelona, Spain. I got my first degree in Chemistry at the University of Barcelona followed by a MSc in Chemical Research at the University of London and a PhD at the University of Barcelona. In 2003 moved to University Cambridge to work as Research Fellow with Christopher Dobson on the structural and dynamical characterization of proteins. Joined ICREA as a Researcher and the IRB as a Group Leader in July 2008.

Research Interests
|
|
|
A high resolution description of the structure and dynamics of proteins is a very useful tool to study the properties and the function of these important biomacromolecules and, most importantly, to understand how changes in sequence or environment can lead to disease. My research work aims, on the one hand, at developing methods to probe the fluctuations of the structure of proteins by combining experimental data and molecular simulations and, on the other hand, at understanding how changes in such motions relate to the molecular recognition of proteins, to their function and to disease.
