Dr. Micaela Cerletti

I am a researcher working at the University of Mar del Plata (UNMdP), Argentina. My current research centers on the regulatory mechanisms of membrane proteases and the regulation of carotenogenesis in halophilic archaea and other organisms of biotechnological interest. During my postdoctoral work, I furthered my investigation into ATP-dependent LonB protease in archaea under the guidance of Dr. Rosana De Castro. I gained expertise in proteomics and proteome turnover dynamics during several research stays at Ruhr University Bochum, under the mentorship of Dr. Ansgar Poetsch. More recently, I spent time in Dr. Alexandre Bisson’s lab at Brandeis University, USA, where I developed advanced microscopy skills to study protein degradation mechanisms in halophiles.
