Felix Campelo

Felix Campelo is a Visiting Professor at ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences, specializing in theoretical biophysics. He earned his PhD from the Universitat de Barcelona (Spain) and focuses on membrane dynamics, secretory pathways, and biophysical modeling.

His research explores the molecular mechanisms governing organelle structure, including the Golgi apparatus and ER-Golgi transport. He investigates lipid metabolism, protein sorting, and membrane curvature generation using computational and biophysical approaches.

Recent work emphasizes secretory pathway regulation, collagen trafficking inhibition, and membrane nanoscale organization. His methodologies span theoretical models, imaging techniques, and biophysical simulations.

Dr. Campelo contributes to understanding protein condensates, plasmodesmata formation, and cellular zinc homeostasis, bridging biophysics with cell biology and structural virology.
