Profesor Asistente

Universidad de Chile

Santiago, Chile

Nuestro grupo está interesado en la biología de RNA en bacterias, con énfasis en la regulación de la traducción y la evolución del uso de codones. En este contexto hemos estudiado el papel de la maquinaria traduccional en la adaptación al estrés.
