Christian Frezza (He/Him)
Professor of metabolomics in ageing, CECAD, University of Cologne
Interdisciplinary researcher with a strong foundation in cancer biology, immunology, and molecular regulation. Focused on mechanistic and systems-level understanding of immune cell plasticity, chromatin organization, and metabolic control of signaling. Combines computational analysis with hypothesis-driven modeling to investigate regulatory complexity in cancer and inflammation.
Irene Diaz-Moreno
Chair of the FEBS Excellence Awards and Fellowships Committee, University of Seville - CSIC
Dr. Irene Díaz-Moreno is Full Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Institute of Chemical Research of the Scientific Research Centre Isla de la Cartuja – cicCartuja, in Seville (Spain). She was awarded with her Ph.D. with European mention from the University of Seville in 2005. Dr. Irene Díaz-Moreno has worked in collaboration with groups at the Universities of Göteborg (Sweden) and Leiden (The Netherlands) on molecular recognition between metalloproteins involved in electron-transfer processes. She was an EMBO postdoctoral fellow (2006–2008) at the NIMR-MRC in London (UK), working on the regulatory mechanisms of mRNA decay by RNA-binding proteins. In 2010, she got a permanent position at the University of Seville, where she is developing research projects on Biointeractomics field, as well as on the post-translational regulation of biological macromolecules.
