Oriol Gallego
Lecturer
Biochemistry
PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (UAB)
Oriol Gallego holds a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Between 2006 and 2012 he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany. In 2012 he set up his own research group at IRB Barcelona. Since 2018 he has held a tenure-track position at the Department of Experimental and Health Sciences at UPF. The research group combines advanced optical microscope techniques with genetically modified yeast to study molecular mechanisms controlling cell growth. His research has also led him to work closely with other groups.
