Time at the IPB has come to a close for Dr. Marco Trujillo, Head of the Independent Junior Research Group “Ubiquitination in Immunity”. He has moved to a position at the University of Freiburg, Germany. Trujillo received his PhD in Biology from Giessen University. After postdoctoral research in the UK and Japan, and leading a research group at Würzburg University, he moved to Halle in 2011 to join the IPB. Here, he continued to make valuable contributions to the understanding of ubiquitination – a modification on proteins influencing their stability, activity or localization. Specifically, his research focuses on the role that ubiquitination plays in plant immune responses to pathogens by studying different players in the ubiquitination process. Trujillo’s successful research at the institute during the past seven years is evidenced by high-quality publications, many of which involved collaborations with different research groups of the IPB.
Beginning of April, the Trujillo lab resumed work in their new location in the south of Germany. We are grateful for the asset the group has been to the IPB and wish continued success and fruitful research.
