Research groups and centres

Our faculty and researchers are organized into various research groups. While issue work is interdisciplinary, the groups listed below are organized around the four main areas in which we work (Environmental Biology; Biochemistry Genetics; Chemistry; Physics and Applied Mathematics), which correspond to the Departments under the School of Science.

Antimicrobial Resistance 

  • Antimicrobial and anti-endotoxin peptides active against antibiotic-resistant, biofilm-forming Gram-negative bacteria; 2. Production and characterization of new probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and bioactive compounds through precision fermentation.
    · coordinator:Guillermo Martínez de Tejada
     
  • Bacterial pathogenesis and pathogen-host interaction. Study of virulence mechanisms and interaction with the immune system, with a special emphasis on multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens, and their application to the development of new vaccines and antimicrobial therapies.
    · coordinator:Tomás Maira Litrán
     
  • Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance within the One Health framework. Isolation and phenotypic and molecular characterization of antibiotic-resistant bacteria of human, animal, food, and environmental origin, with a special focus on the monitoring and control of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteria.
    · Coordinator:Ana Isabel Vitas Pemán

     

 

Brucella-Brucellosis. Study of the pathogenicity mechanisms of Brucella, particularly those related to intracellular survival and interaction with the host. One of its main lines of research is the development of new, safer, and more effective vaccines that improve upon existing ones and reduce their limitations, as well as the refinement of diagnostic and treatment tools.
· Coordinator:Raquel Conde-Álvarez
 

Characterization of the role of oxidative stress in vascular and metabolic pathophysiology: the NADPH oxidase family. Characterization of the role of NADPH oxidase 5 in vascular pathophysiology in metabolic syndrome, obesity, and diabetes.
· coordinator:Guillermo Zalba Goñi
· Other members: Eduardo Ansorena Artieda, Mª de Ujué Moreno Zulategui
 

Translational Oncology. Predictive biomarkers of response and new therapeutic strategies for lung and ovarian cancer.
· coordinator:Rubén Pío Osés
 

Gene Therapy for Neurological Diseases. In the Gene Therapy for Neurological Diseases program, we seek to understand the mechanisms and molecular instructions of cognitive and motor decline in neurodegenerative diseases, specifically Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Based on this knowledge, we develop new therapeutic strategies that we test in various preclinical models of these diseases.
