Nerea Huarte
Associate Lecturer (UPV/EHU)
She earned her BS in Biochemistry in 2005 and MS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 2007 in the Science and Technology School from the University of the Basque Country and the PhD in Science (Biophysics) in 2008 in the University of the Basque Country. She did postdoctoral research at the Biophysics Unit (CSIC, UPV/EHU) working on the study of the lipidic component of enveloped viruses as HIV. Her research has been focused on this topic since then.
