The history of Colonia Tovar is very complex: being the home of descendants of only a small fraction of immigrants arriving to the South American continent from a specific region of Germany, with a restricted number of founders, small…
The future systematic mapping of variants that confer susceptibility to common diseases requires the construction of a fully informative polymorphism map. Ideally, every base pair of the genome would be sequenced in many individuals.
To proliferate on host airway mucosa and evade elimination by patrolling sentinel cells, the whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis produces a potently immunosubversive adenylate cyclase toxin (..
Mutations in STAT1 cause a broad spectrum of disease, ranging from severe viral and bacterial infections (amorphic alleles), to mild disseminated mycobacterial disease (hypomorphic alleles), to chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis…

Celiac disease (CeD) is a multifactorial autoimmune enteropathy characterized by the overactivation of the immune system in response to dietary gluten. The molecular etiology of CeD is still not well-understood.
My research is focused on DNA-repair mechanisms. I use multi-scale molecular modeling to understand physical and chemical properties of Protein-DNA complexes. Briefly, I use a broad spectrum of computational tools - from Classical MD to QM…
