Biography

I am a Junior Group Leader at the Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe, where I lead the Systems Biology of Host-Microbiome Interactions group. My main research interest is to understand how bacteria in the gut microbiome regulate their gene expression in response to different environmental cues, and use this knowledge to design targeted microbiota modulation strategies.
