Currículum Vitae

Francisco J Blanco obtained a B. Sc. degree in Chemistry in 1988 and a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1992 at the Complutense University of Madrid. As a predoc at IEM-CSIC, he used NMR to characterize linear peptides folding into β-hairpins. As a postdoc at EMBL, he studied the structure and folding of the spectrin SH3 domain, and at NIH, he used solid-state NMR to study the structure of HIV-Rev protein fibers. He moved back to CSIC in 2000 and determined the solution structure of a protein with a novel fold. He joined the CNIO in 2002 as a Ramón y Cajal researcher, where he studied tumor suppressor ING4 and several meganucleases. In 2007, he moved to CIC bioGUNE as IKERBASQUE Research Professor to work on the structure-function of proteins relevant to cancer until 2020, when he relocated his lab to CSIC, first at CIB and in 2024 to IBV. He has supervised 10 Ph.D. Thesis, and is an Honorary Professor of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
