Group leader @CBM_CSIC_UAM @ERC_Research investigator @criscancer Studying mitochondrial metabolism in human physiology and disease.
In mitochondria, respiratory supercomplexes (blue) pump protons across crista membranes to create an electrochemical gradient, fueling adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase (pink) to regenerate ATP—the energy currency of life. Now, cryo–electron tomography captures these…
Peer review is a horrendous process that rarely adds real value. 🚨 Too often, it’s about gatekeeping rather than improving science. How can we make it better? Here are a few simple rules to keep it fair, efficient, and actually useful. 🧵⬇️ #PeerReview #AcademicPublishing
Job offer! We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher with expertise in cancer metabolism/immunology to investigate metabolic heterogeneity as a driver of cancer metastasis. @CBM_CSIC_UAM @criscancer #cancermetabolism #immunometabolism
