Humans emit about 30 billion tonnes of CO2 each year through their energy requirements, which has important negative consequences for climate change. The move towards a different “greener” society is inevitable.

The objectives of this stay are: to learn about surface characterization at the nanoscale and to participate in the development of an atomic force microscope device for outreach purposes.

One of the interests of the Plant Development Genetics Group (DEVOLEG, www.devoleg.es) at the Misión Biológica de Galicia (MBG, CSIC) is the study of the genetic mechanisms responsible for the plant development

We sought to generate a genetically encoded calcium indicator (GECI) based on a motif of bacterial origin to overcome competition incidences induced by those using calmodulin.

APE1 (apurinic apyrimidinic endonuclease 1) is a key factor in one of the DNA repair pathways, known as “Base Excision Repair” (BER), which activates upon DNA “lesions” elicited by oxidative damage, among others.

The Erasmus+ student will be hosted by the group of Chemical Transducers of the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM; gtq.imb-cnm.csic.es).

The Erasmus+ student will join the group of Dr. Cinta Porte (www.idaea.csic.es/research-group/environmental-toxicology), research professor at IDAEA -CSIC-.

The Erasmus+ intern will be involved in a project related to the generation of new neurons in the adult mouse brain, a process known as adult neurogenesis.

The candidate will work within the Development Neurobiology (GNDe) group led by Dr. Fernando de Castro Soubriet at the Cajal Institute in Madrid.

The student will join in a project whose main objective is the design, development and characterization of biopolymer-based emulsions with added silicon and application of them in the development of healthier meat products.
