Claves / Resumen
Iván Plaza Menacho is the head of the Protein Phosphorylation and Cancer Group at the Spanish National Cancer Institute (CNIO). He recently joined CNIO to start a highly competitive lab focused on structure-function studies of protein kinases and structure-based drug discovery. Iván Plaza-Menacho obtained his BSc degree by the University of Cádiz (2001). He did his PhD studies (2002-2006) with Prof. Robert Hofstra as a Ubbo-Emmius and Groningen Institute for Drug Exploration (GUIDE) scholar at the University of Groningen working on the characterization of the RET proto-oncogene signalling. In 2006 he moved to the Institute of Cancer Research (London) with Prof. Clare Isacke to work on RET signalling in breast cancer under an International Postdoctoral Fellowship (Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia of Spain). In 2009 he moved to the London Research Institute with a CRUK postdoctoral fellowship to focus on structure-function studies on RET kinase activation and oncogenic de-regulation, and at the same time continued his work on RET signaling in breast cancer and endocrine resistance under an AICR funded project. After a 2-year period (March 2015 to April 2017) working on the structural and functional characterization of histidine kinases signalling in the Biozentrum University of Basel, Iván moved to Madrid to start the Protein Phosphorylation and Cancer Group at CNIO. Iván been the recipient of prestigious CRUK-postdoctoral, Marie Curie-WHRI and Ramón y Cajal fellowships
