Many congratulations to Clara, who has just secured an "Initiation to Research" grant for Master students for the 23-24 course, kindly sponsored by Univesidade de Santiago de Compostela and Santander Universidades.
Great news! María has secured a PhD contract from the 2023 call of the prestigious FPU program from the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. Many thanks for the support.
Congratulations to Rocío and Mela from the Virus & Cancer lab at CIMUS, as well as the rest of collaborators, for their paper "SUMOylation modulates eIF5A activities in both yeast and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells" just published in Cell. Mol. Biol. Lett., a long collaboration where Tomás from our group carried out some of key yeast experiments.
The lab welcomes the undergraduate students Laura Cristos Martínez (Biology degree) and Beatriz Varela Ortega (Biotechnology degree), who will be carrying out their BSc thesis in our group. Manuel García Amado (Biotechnology degree) also joins as a Collaboration Fellow (Fellowship from Ministerio de Educación, Formación Profesional y Deportes). Finally, Clara Miranda Abeijón (Master in Biomedical Research) joins the lab to pursue her MSc thesis project with us. Many new faces for the 23-24 course, best luck to all of you!
Tomás and Miguel present the work of the lab with a poster and a short talk at the Recombination Mechanisms Conference in Lisbon. Amazing speakers, very useful feedback for both our communications and great chats with old and new colleagues.
Tomás has presented and outstandingly defended his doctoral work to obtain his PhD. Very grateful to the members of his PhD committee - Dr. Rodrigo Bermejo (CIB, Madrid), Dr. Uli Rass (GDSC, Univ. of Sussex) and Dr. Pablo Huertas (CABIMER. Sevilla) for enabling an open, but extremely thorough discussion that made both the candidate and the work shine. Many congratulations, Tomás!
The lab welcomes Samuel Bensoussan, exchange student from Université Paris Cité that will be carrying out a 3-month research stay with us. We hope you enjoy the experience.
Patricia Sanmiguel (Chemistry degree) and David Alvar (Chemistry-Biology double degree) join the lab for their BSc theses. Patricia will be co-tutored with Prof. Eugenio Vázquez and David with Prof. Miguel Vázquez, both from CIQUS. Best luck to both!
The STEM-BACH students from IES Blanco Amor in Ourense visited the lab for a “hands-on”. It was a fun day, with very interesting questions from the students. Congratulations to Paco Boán and the rest of the Faculty of Blanco Amor for nurturing their scientific vocations.
Second PhD thesis from the lab!
Raquel has defended and passed her PhD viva with flying colours! Thanks a lot to the members of her PhD committe: Dr. Dana Branzei (IFOM, Milan), Dr. Aura Carreira (CBMSO, Madrid) and Dr. Anxo Vidal (CIMUS, USC) for a great discussion both during and after the viva. Many thanks and congratulations to Raquel for all her accomplishments in the lab. A strong candidate joins the postdoc job market! Moreover, Dana Branzei was also kind enough to participate in our CIMUS seminar series and delivered a magistral seminar on the latest advances from her group. It was a great pleasure to have you here! |
