Carlos' Portrait

Dr.

Carlos Elena-Real

My scientific travel started in the sunny south of Spain, where I grew up. I studied Biochemistry at the University of Seville, where I also carried out my PhD, focused on the study of protein interactions. Among the techniques that I discovered, NMR amazed me; so I moved to Montpellier (in the Mediterranean French coast) to perform a postdoc about NMR of disordered proteins. Recently, I decided to move to another country, so I joined Sigrid Milles’ group as a postdoc to continue learning NMR of IDPs, and combine this with smFRET: a very interesting approach, completely new for me.
