Research

Dr. Tejero’s research is focused on the biology of heme proteins. His main research goals include: i) to understand and characterize the chemical and kinetic features of the reactions of nitrite with hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytoglobin and neuroglobin, ii) to elucidate the cytoprotective mechanisms of the six-coordinate globins neuroglobin and cytoglobin, and iii) the development of heme-based antidotes for carbon monoxide poisoning.
