Food Science Research Institute (CIAL)

The Food Science Research Institute (CIAL) , officially inaugurated on March 24, 2011, is a joint center jointly owned by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), integrated into the Campus of International Excellence (CEI) UAM+CSIC. Between 2007 and 2014, the CIAL has defined its scope of action, configuring Food Science Research Institute (CIAL)

Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBMSO)

The CBM is a CSIC-UAM mixed research center that houses researchers belonging to the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM). Founded in 1975, the CBM is one of the largest Spanish multidisciplinary research centers in biomedicine, with experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics and genomics in several research Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBMSO)

Pedro Bonay Miarons

Leader of the Functional Glycomics group at the CBMSO-UAM. Professor at the Molecular Biology Department at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid. The Glycosylation is the most abundant, diverse and dynamic post-translational modification in nature, generating one of the most complex biological molecules found in nature, glycans. The group has devoted the last five years to Pedro Bonay Miarons
