I’m sincerely grateful to the organizing committee, the instructors, and the sponsors who made this event possible in our region and of course to everyone who took the time to talk, listen to my work, and share their own 🙂.

🔬 LTSV40 disrupts cell cycle regulation!
✅ Induces conformational changes in pRb, blocking E2F access.
✅ LXCXE motif & disordered regions are key to interference.
✅ A generalized mechanism for pRb inactivation might apply to other viral oncoproteins.

Frontiers | Structural and dynamical characterization of pRb, LTSV40 and the pRb-LTSV40 complex suggests a common mechanism for pRb inactivation
We have published a new article in Frontiers in Chemical Biology! 🎉
In collaboration with Gustavo Pierdominici-Sottile
Nicolas Palopoli and Juliana Palma, we explored the interaction between the retinoblastoma protein and the simian virus 40 large T antigen.

Latin American journals are open-access pioneers. Now, they need an audience
SciElo, other platforms work to help journals reach readers around the world
Latin America is a leader in nonprofit open-access, with pioneering platforms like Scielo and Redalyc. But it still struggles to have their journals valued at home, as researchers’ perfomances often depend on them publishing on mainstream commercial journals.

Intro slide with cute drawings in the background and a text box saying "The cute side of proteins. Behind every scientific discovery, lies a story. Often this story is of a scientist and their passion and awe for nature’s design."
A woman is making the shape of a heart with her hands. Next to her is a model of molecular structure of a protein overlaid on a drawing of the human heart. A text box below says: "Maria Costanzo from EMBL Barcelona is fascinated by the YAP protein – its interesting abilities and its heart shape.". Protein reference: Alphafold P46938.
A man is blowing soap bubbles. Next to him is a circular shape containing several protein structures, which have an empty middle and concentrically arranged petal-like parts. The text box above says: "Veijo Salo from EMBL Heidelberg describes his favourite protein, seipin, as a molecular bubble blower, tightly holding fat bubbles inside a cell." Protein reference: PDBe SDS5.
A woman is petting a complex of molecules that looks like a poodle. The text below says: "Sarah Gharbi from EMBL Grenoble describes this protein complex as a poodle: it has a head (E.coli elongation factor protein), a muzzle (tRNA), a body (SidH), and even a flexible tail, like a dog!". Protein reference: PDBe 8QFS.
Science is full of wonder, creativity, and unexpected stories!
🌟 In this special series, EMBL scientists share their passion about proteins in stories full of curiosity and imagination.
