Juan José Vásquez Ospina |
Juan José is a biologist with research interests in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry and pharmacology. He is currently a Master’s student in the Mycology and Plant Disease Laboratory (LAMFU) and BBMP working on the cloning, expression and biochemical characterization of the enzyme uracil phosphoribosyltransferase which recycles pyrimidines in the plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans. In the future he expects to be able to test the inhibitory capacity of uracil analogues on PiUPRTase and also to participate in the design of new molecules that block this enzyme for the biological control of P. infestans.
