I am passionate about the marine environment, I haveÌýstrong researchÌýbackground in marine microbiology and ecology. The projects I am involved in, include the following activities:

  • Bacterial-seaweeds interactions
  • The ecological role of antibiotic producing bacteria
  • Use of bioinformatic tools and molecular approaches for the analysis of microbial communities associates with marine samplesÌý
  • Engineering ofÌýSynechococcus elongatus PCC 7942
  • Supervise PhD students,Ìýassisting during experimental design,Ìýfieldwork and laboratory activities
