Eduardo A. Ceccarelli is a biochemist (1979) from the Faculty of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the National University of Rosario (FBioyF, UNR). At the same institution and through CONICET fellowships he obtained his Ph.D. degree (1986) at the Center for Photosynthetic and Biochemical Studies (CEFOBI) under the direction of Dr. Rubén Vallejos. He completed postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Diego (1986-1989), through positions at the NIH and NSF in the United States. He was Guest Professor of Freie Univesrsität Berlin. He is currently a Senior Researcher at CONICET and a Full Professor of the Molecular Biology Area (FBioyF, UNR) for which he is also Head. He is the Academic Director of the Dep. of Cs. Biological Sciences of the same institution and Director of the Mass Spectrometry Unit of the IBR, CONICET, UNR.
He directs the Protein Structure, Folding, and Function Laboratory. The lab studies stability, structure, catalytic functions, and degradation of proteins and their possible metabolic roles. They use protein models relevant to physiological processes in all living organisms such as flavoproteins, molecular chaperones, and proteases. The information generated enables its subsequent biotechnological use.
Recently, the Municipal Council of Rosario recognized Dr. Ceccarelli with the Diploma of Honor for his scientific work during the past pandemic.
