Our group is interested in several topics related to the biochemistry, molecular biology and genomics of yeasts, mainly Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Komagataella phaffii (formerly known as Pichia pastoris), specifically those related to cell signaling through protein phospho-dephosphorylation events. To this end, we investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying stress responses, both at the transcriptional and translational levels, and how these mechanisms can be exploited to develop new protein expression platforms of industrial or biomedical interest.
