XXX Conference of the Spanish Society of Microbiology
Between the 16th and the 19th of June of 2025, the XXX Conference of the Spanish Society of Microbiology (SEM) took place in Jaén (Spain). I got the great oportunity to show my work as an oral presentation and discuss my results with new collegues in the field. I presented my latest preprint on the ecological implications of genome size in freshwater prokaryotes. I really appreciate this opportunity, and I really look forward meeting more researchers in microbiology during the next years!

VIII Jornadas Científicas del Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales
On the 5th and the 6th of March of 2025, I attended the VIII Scientific Meeting of the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid (Spain). Here, I presented my work as an oral presentation to all my new colleagues at the museum. More specifically, we discussed part of my thesis work, where we investigated the ecological implications of genome size in the abundance and prevalence of freshwater prokaryotes.

I started a new position!
I am glad to communicate that I recently started my new adventure as a postdoctoral researcher! After almost 5 years doing my PhD at Stockholm University (Sweden), I joined the team of Rafael Laso Pérez at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid, Spain. With Rafael, I'll be the main responsible for the bioinformatic analysis in our team, and I'll be involved in the various projects, such as ARGOS (acronym for "Antimicrobial Resistance by metaGenomics Overview in a Sewage system"). In ARGOS, we aim to use metagenomics to investigate the distribution and abundance of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in the wastewater system of the city of Madrid (this is the Canal de Isabel II). During my postdoc, I'll also be involved on a diversity of projects where we will use metagenomics to investigate microbial diversity ain aquatic ecosystems. Keep tuned for all the cool science that is coming!
