Dr. Ruth Pérez, head of the Biological Systems Chemistry group at the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas Margarita Salas, has been awarded a Fulbright-CSIC scholarship within the mobility actions promoted by the Fulbright Commission and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
These stays aim to promote the mobility of research personnel from the CSIC to US research centers, improve internationalization, and strengthen the scientific cooperation between CSIC and US research groups.
The proposal presented by Dr. Pérez, “Dynamic chemical systems to modulate proteins”, was one of the 10 selected proposals within the 2023 call. Her stay will occur throughout 2024 at Stanford University (Palo Alto, California), and will explore the modulation of the proteins responsible for DNA repair.
In 2023, Ruth Pérez received the V National Award for Young Leaders of Research Groups from the Chemical Biology Division of the RSEQ and recently obtained an ERC Consolidator grant.
