I am the boss who still believes that the dark side of the force is not stronger…only quicker, easier, more seductive…

andrea.menes@csic.es

I’m a biologist with a MSc in biotechnology. I’m in between lab-bench and paperwork while pursuing my PhD with unspecific peroxygenases. Out of the lab, I’m a huge fan of Marvel and Star Wars, also a make-up junkie, but what I like the most is spending time with my dog in the nature, (trying to) play drums and go to every concert I can.

israel.sanchez@csic.es

I have been working in the field of the biocatalysis for years, always in the limit between chemistry and biology (bringing balance). My research is focused on protein engineering of peroxidases. Outside of lab, I love listening to reaggeton music, watching the Tele5 TV shows, and lying miserably about my hobbies in my internet profiles.

p.gutierrez.alonso@csic.es

I am a biologist with many years of experience in the field of biocatalysis in academia and industry. I like to spend my free time with my family and friends, travelling, eating, dancing, going to the beach and laughing as much as I can.

alejandro.beltran@csic.es

I studied Biochemistry and Industrial Biotechnology at the University Complutense of Madrid. My research interests come into characterizing and engineering short peroxygenases. I am obsessed with figure skating, cats, and I like dancing too.

d.monterrey@csic.es

I am a Cuban, Spain-based biologist who fell in love with Madrid 20 years ago. My research interest focuses on the discovery and engineering of new peroxygenases employed in biosynthesis. I am a bookworm, love my cats and, I have a passion for cooking

mkeser@eyown.com

I have been told that I am a world citizen; I am Turkish-born, raised in the US, and spent another chunk of my life in The Netherlands where I received my BSc and MSc in the field of biochemistry and biotechnology. I have moved to Spain for my Ph.D.studies involving directed evolution of galactose oxidase for further advancement of green chemistry and pharmaceutical industry. I’m a fairly good baker, a coffee snob, and have a love for gin (the good kind).

silviagc@icp.csic.es

I am a biologist with a MSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I joined the group to pursue my PhD focused in the Yeast Surface Display. In my spare time, i enjoy meeting my friends, reading novels and traveling as much as I can. I never go anywhere without my headphones. I also like to walk in the countryside and take pictures of all the mushrooms I find. Sad fact about turtles: only one in a thousand reaches adulthood. Be nice to others.

y.wu@icp.csic.es

I am a chemist who previously studied fluorine chemistry. During my graduate studies, I developed an interest in biocatalysis and I am currently conducting research on peroxygenases. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and watching movies.

julia.murciano@icp.csic.es

I’m a biologist with an Industrial Biotechnology MSc doing my PhD thesis on the enzymatic degradation of plastics. Whenever I have free time I am skating on my roller skates (or getting off the ground with them on). I also enjoy reading old books and watching new (reality) TV shows.
