The group studies the mechanisms of this enigmatic and common disease, its physiopathology and ways of early detection. It's also involved in the development of new medication for its treatment via clinical trials.
Study and improvement of ovarian tissue cryopreservation techniques, detection of occult metastatic diseases in breast cancer patients, in vitro activation and maturation, fertility preservation in leukaemia patients and uterus transplant.
This research line seeks to understand how ovaries in female patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation work and to improve the results by reducing complications.
Our goal is to explore the mechanistic principles of membrane protein insertion, folding and assembly into lipid membranes and to investigate the factors that determine membrane protein stability.
Overexpression of membrane proteins is often essential for structural and functional studies, but yields are frequently too low. Therefore, we investigate the consequences of overexpression of different membrane proteins in search for new components to improve such yields.
