A new chapter for FEBS Open Bio

Abstract

His research interests lie in understanding the structure-activity relations of biological macromolecules, in particular protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions. He first focused on solar energy conversion and electron transfer in photosynthetic systems and further conducted landmark studies of metal-containing protein evolution connected to geochemical changes as driven by atmospheric oxygen increase. His current research projects are aimed at unveiling the molecular mechanism and structural basis of programmed cell death and human disease. Prof. De la Rosa's group has recently made outstanding contributions to understand the differential trafficking of key proteins from mitochondria to cytoplasm and nucleus in the transition from cell life to death. Prof. De la Rosa is the FEBS Congress Counsellor since 2015 and was the FEBS Chairman in 2014. He has also been President of the Bioelectrochemical Society (2003-07) and the Spanish Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SEBBM) (2008-12). He is honorary member of SEBBM, elected member of the Academia Europaea and Vice President of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Seville.
