Daniela Catalano Dupuy is a Licentiate in Biotechnology from the School of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (FCByF) of the National University of Rosario. She is Ph.D. in Biological Sciences. Her doctoral thesis was performed at the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Rosario (IBR-CONICET) under the supervision of Dr. Eduardo Ceccarelli. She acquired training in Protein Crystallography at the Physics Institute of São Carlos (USP), São Paulo, Brazil. She made a post-doctorate on Structural and functional determinants of catalytic efficiency in flavoenzymes under the supervision of Dr. Ceccarelli. She is an Adjunct Researcher at CONICET and Project Director of the Protein Structure, Folding, and Function Laboratory (IBR). She studies the Structure-function relationships of flavoenzymes with the ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR) from plants and bacteria as an enzyme model. FNRs are widely distributed among organisms and participate in electron transfer processes. She is a Teacher-Assistant in charge of Assignments (JTP) at the Molecular Biology Department of FCByF. She works as Technical Manager of the High-Level Technological Service (ST2640) for Advice on Optimizing the Expression of recombinant proteins in microorganisms.
Currently, she supervises the project “Comparative functional analysis of ferredoxin-NADP+ reductases of bacterial pathogens.”
