ALBA synchrotron has been awarded with a MINECO research grant, cofinanced by FEDER, entitled “Structural mechanism of Regulation of Transcription and Exchange of Genetic Material in Gram positive Bacteria and Land Plants” and reference PID2024-161202NB-I00. This research grant proposes to study transcription regulation in plants and conjugation in bacteria. A relevant portion of the abstract is given below for information:

“Our lab studies structural mechanisms of regulation of gene transcription and DNA exchange in different organisms. These processes are tightly linked to developmental processes and to response to environmental triggers. When gene regulation goes wrong, many problems can occur, causing cell death, or uncontrolled growth of cellular tissues. Our objective is to gain knowledge about aspects of natural processes of DNA transcription and exchange that play a central role in biology and that are crucial to human wellbeing and sustainabi...
