Biography

Marcel Vieira-Lara leads a research group focusing on metabolic processes and energy transduction in organisms, with a strong interest in their sustainable applications. His team seeks to understand the fundamental questions of how energy conversion strategies differ across various organisms, investigating the regulation of (macro)molecules within cells. The group's work is characterized by a systems biology approach, integrating data at the levels of genes, proteins, metabolites, and fluxes to achieve a comprehensive understanding of cellular physiology. By employing both experimental and computational techniques, they aim to obtain quantitative insights into complex biological systems. Marcel collaborates closely with leading scientists in the Industrial Microbiology section of the Department of Biotechnology, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary research and collaboration within the field. He welcomes inquiries about potential collaborations in the domains of bioenergetics and quantitative biology applied to biotechnology.
