Valeria Calvaresi Awarded Wellcome Early Career Fellowship

We are delighted to announce that our talented postdoctoral researcher, Valeria Calvaresi, has been awarded the competitive Wellcome Early Career Fellowship.

Valeria Calvaresi, from the Struwe Lab, has secured a Wellcome Early Career Fellowship with her project focused on advancing our understanding of the immune response to the Ebola virus. Starting in February 2025, her work aims to design therapeutic nanobodies by exploring antibody-mediated immunity against Ebola. Valeria’s approach involves creating an innovative biophysical platform combining hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) and mass photometry. Her method, applied on surfaces replicating the authentic virus, will provide new insights into immune responses with potential therapeutic applications. 

Congratulations to Valeria on this achievement!
