Dr. Elena Gavilán is a researcher at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the School of Pharmacy, University of Seville (US), and the Institute of Biomedicine of Seville (IBiS). She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Seville in 2012. Her research focuses on the study of protein degradation systems and ER stress as key players in diseases such as neurodegeneration, cancer, and viral infections. Dr. Gavilán has made significant contributions to scientific knowledge in her field through numerous publications and active participation in national and international conferences. In addition to her research, she has been actively involved in substantial teaching activities at the US.
Diego Ruano is a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the School of Pharmacy, University of Seville and Institut of Biomedicine of Seville (IBiS). He received his Ph.D. at the University of Seville in 1993. His research focuses on the study of the hippocampal aging process and the neurodegeneration mechanisms that could be relevant for the development and or progression of age-related neurodegenerative disorders, mostly Alzheimer’s disease. His lab has made significant contributions to the molecular aspects of normal and pathological aging processes.
