Marina Barrio Calvo

Marina Barrio Calvo serves as a Guest Researcher in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, contributing to the Molecular and Translational Pharmacology research group with a focus on elucidating molecular mechanisms of chemokine receptor function.

Her research spans Pharmacology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and Immunology, specifically investigating how electrostatic properties of receptor N-termini and post-translational modifications govern ligand capture dynamics and modulation by defense peptides. This work bridges structural biology and immune signaling pathways.

Her 2024 publication in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences demonstrates her expertise in receptor pharmacology, revealing critical structure-function relationships with implications for inflammatory disease therapeutics and immune modulation strategies.
