Dr. Marta Martinez-Sanz

Dr. Martinez-Sanz is a tenured scientist at the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). She works at the Food Proteins group in the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL), where she investigates the structural changes of complex food matrices upon gastrointestinal digestion and the effects of nanostructure on protein digestibility and bioavailability. She is expert on the application of small angle scattering techniques (SAXS, SANS and USANS) and their combination with complementary methods such as X-ray diffraction, rheology, spectroscopy and microscopy. Along her career, she has applied scattering techniques to characterize the multi-scale architecture of plant cell walls, bacterial cellulose model systems, polysaccharides extracted from a variety of biomass sources (e.g. seaweeds, microalgae, agroindustrial waste, etc.), food proteins and food packaging materials.

 Prof. Judith Peters

Judith Peters graduated in Physics at the University Joseph Fourier Grenoble 1 and received her PhD in Theoretical Physics in 1988. She then had a post-doctoral position at the University of Heidelberg working on molecular dynamics simulations. After one year as exchange scientist at the University of St. Petersburg, 7 years as assistant professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin and 10 years as scientist at the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, she holds now a professorship of Physics at Université Grenoble Alpes. Her research interests comprise dynamical studies of biosystems by neutron scattering techniques, particularly under extreme conditions.
