Juan Mata is a researcher in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on the genome-wide responses of cells to stress, particularly using fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, to investigate how cells remodel gene expression in response to stress. The Mata Group employs advanced methods such as ribosome profiling to provide high-resolution genome-wide views of translation in normal cells exposed to stress conditions. Mata's interests also include the role of RNA-binding proteins in regulating translation and RNA stability, which vary across different biological processes. His work aims to clarify how RNA-binding proteins control RNA decay on a genome-wide scale, as well as elucidate the peptidome in fission yeast. Key publications reflect his significant contributions to the field of biochemistry through various studies encompassing topics like ribosome stalling and the general amino acid control mechanism in fission yeast.
