I am an environmental microbiologist who seeks to understand the ecology and function of microorganisms
of microorganisms in all kinds of environments (oceans, sediments, extreme places),
extreme places). I especially love to study archaea, a type of microorganism different from bacteria.
of microorganisms different from bacteria, but with important functions and a big role in the
functions and a big role in evolutionary history. Recently I have
recently started to study the distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in sewage
in wastewater, a medium that facilitates the spread of antibiotic resistance to the
dispersal of resistance into the natural environment.
Outside the lab, I love to travel and see new places, I love to read and play games, and I enjoy
a lover of reading and I play rugby for Madrid Titanes.
