Research lines per researcher: Study of the transcriptional regulation of yeast during salt and oxidative stress for its biotechnological application in biomedicine. Research Group DEHA, http://www.deha.abaco2.org/

The study of transcription regulation in extremophilic yeasts of biotechnological and commercial interest allows determining the regulation of gene expression in response to salt and oxidative stress. Once stress-responsive genes are identified, their biotechnological application in medicine is pursued.
