Investigación
¡Hola! I'm an environmental microbiologist who aims to understand the ecology and evolution of Archaea and Bacteria by using environmental metagenomics, big data and other different tools. I work in the team of Rafael Laso Pérez here at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid (Spain). I take part of the ARGOS project (acronym for "Antimicrobial Resistance by metaGenomics Overview in a Sewage system" (Spanish national research project PID2023-147830NA-I00, awarded in 2024 to Rafael Laso Pérez). In this project we aim to use omics' approaches to investigate the distribution and abundance of antimicrobial resistance genes in wastewater systems, specifically in the Canal de Isabel II. However, I also take part in different projects where we investigate the natural communities of Archaea and Bacteria in various aquatic ecosystems, such as freshwater rivers and lakes, and brackish estuaries.
