VIDEC in Gothenburg


During the secondment at the University of Gothenburg (Prof. Leif Erikson group), Laureano E. Carpio will work with the PIDDOSOME, which is a complex that has a role in the cell death process. This complex is formed by three different proteins PIDD, CASPASE 2, and RAIDD. Through molecular modeling approaches, he will study how these three proteins interact with each other forming the complex to try to elucidate how this binding occurs and which aminoacids are relevant.
