Short biographical sketch

Eulàlia de Nadal is Full Professor at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Affiliated Group Leader at the IRB Barcelona (Institute for Research in Biomedicine (2018-). She graduated in Veterinary Medicine (1995) and received her Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University Autònoma de Barcelona (2000). She performed postdoctoral studies as a ‘Ramón y Cajal’ researcher at the University of Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, and at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH), Zürich. From 2008, she co-leads the Cell Signaling Research Group (https://www.irbbarcelona.org/en/research/cell-signaling).

 

Research lines

Her group aim to unravel how cells detect and respond to environmental changes, focusing on the characterisation of stress signal transduction pathways, especially those regulated by MAP kinases of the Hog1/p38 family, also known as the stress-activated MAP kinases (SAPKs). Proper adaptation to stress involves the modulation of several basic aspects of cell biology, among them the cell cycle and gene expression. Using S. cerevisiae budding yeast as a model organism, as well as higher eukaryotic cells, the group dissects the molecular mechanisms underlying cell response to changes in the extracellular environment and characterising the adaptive responses required for cell survival. Based on our knowledge of signal transduction and using synthetic biology, we also seek to modify cell behaviour to reprogram cell response to specific inputs/stimuli.
