Lorena Saelices Gomez

Lorena Saelices Gomez is a faculty member at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Her research focuses on understanding amyloid deposition in neurological and systemic disorders, particularly transthyretin amyloidosis and Alzheimer's disease.

• B.S. in Biology, University of Seville
• Ph.D. in Biochemistry, University of Seville
• Postdoctoral work at ETH Zürich and UCLA

Utilizing cryo-electron microscopy, her lab investigates the structural basis of amyloid formation to develop clinical tools for early detection and inhibition. Recent publications highlight structural polymorphism in amyloid fibrils and biomarker discovery across multiple organs and mutations.

The lab's work spans therapeutic strategies, fibril architecture analysis, and plasma detection methods. Collaborations and growth opportunities are emphasized on their website.
