Dr Moisés Laparra Llopis performed his PhD in the
Food Science and Nutrition Department (Faculty of Pharmacy) at the University
of Valencia. Thanks to his hard work during this period, he was awarded with
one of the prestigious Fullbright grants from the Ministry of Education and
Science (Spain). This grant allowed Dr Laparra to work in the Food Science
Department at Cornell University (NY, USA). During his stay at this University,
he was an outstanding postodoctoral student publishing an important number of
publications in high-impact factor journals. After this period,
Dr Laparra worked in recognized institutions, including the Institute of
Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA-CSIC; Spain), Institute for Translational
Immunology (Mainz, Germany) and the Institute of Animal and Food Research (IARFR)
of the Polish Academy of Science (Olztyn, Poland). Now, as a leader of the Molecular Immunonutrition group (IMDEA Food, Madrid - Spain), he investigates how bioactive molecules (from food) exert their effects via modulation of the immune system.
In 2013, thanks to the EU-funded Refresh project, Dr. Giménez-Bastida and Dr. Laparra-Llopis met for the first time in Olsztyn. Since then, they have collaborated in an important number of studies. The PolyBiota project has not been an exception, but an exceptional opportunity to continue growing from a scientific point of view.
