Personal profile

Research Interests

In the broadest sense my work focuses on studying the molecular and physiological responses of different organisms to the environment. One of my main research areas is the study of the interaction between plants and beneficial microorganisms, analyzing the molecular networks that explain the beneficial effects (increased growth rate and abiotic stress tolerance), the ecological effects of these interactions, and how this knowledge can be translated to a more sustainable agriculture. I’ve also been investigating the molecular responses of plants, arthropods and marine organisms to abiotic stresses related with global change, such as temperature increases and ocean acidification. I enjoy working on interdisciplinary teams.
