Dr. Luis Alberto Campos

Luis Alberto Campos has been working in biophysical studies related to proteins for the last two decades. In 2003, He obtained his PhD in biochemistry under the supervision of Prof. Javier Sancho at the University of Zaragoza, working on biophysical studies focused on protein folding and stability, and later, he continued his scientific studies with a postdoctoral stay at the University of Maryland in the laboratory directed by Prof. Victor Muñoz, using single molecule techniques to study protein folding. In 2008, he moved to the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas, in Madrid, where he continued studying protein folding of barrierless proteins, being the recipient of a Marie Curie fellowship. Later on, he moved to the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología, in Madrid, where he obtained a Ramón y Cajal fellowship in 2014. There, he was the principal investigator of a national grant project focused on rational engineering of protein assemblies. Nowadays, he has joined Dr. Alvaro Somoza´s laboratory at IMDEA Nanociencia institute, where he is going to participate in the improvement of detection and treatment methods using derivatized nanoparticles.
