Irene Diaz-Moreno
Chair of the FEBS Working Group on the Careers of Young Scientists, 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.
Florestan Bilsing
PhD Student, Institute of Biochemistry, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf
I am a PhD student in the lab of Stefan Jakobs at the MPI for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany. My interests include the crosstalk between mitochondrial function and ultrastructure, microscopy and, generally, the spatial organisation of the cell, especially of membranes. Additionally, I am a founding member and spokesperson of the Göttingen local group of the junior-GBM.
SIB Sezione Giovani is the Junior Section of the Italian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SIB). It was set up in 2020 to support the career development and networking opportunities of students and young researchers in the molecular life sciences in Italy. SIB Sezione Giovani organise and deliver their own activities under the supervision of their Society and all members of the Junior Section are members of SIB. SIB Sezione Giovani are also part of the FEBS Junior Section. To find out more about SIB Sezione Giovani read their overview post and check out the online talks and other activities they deliver, accesible from the 'Popular contributions' section below.
