Systematic mutational mapping reveals optimal amyloid formation for RIPK function

Mariano is a senior postdoc in Benedetta Bolognesi's lab at the Institute for Bioengineering in Catalonia (IBEC). He obtained his degree in molecular biology (University of Buenos Aires) and his PhD (National University of Cordoba) in Argentina. Since his early career steps, he has focused on understanding how sequence variation impact protein function. Currently, he is studying how mutations affect amyloid formation, in both pathological and functional amyloids.
