Research vision

I completed my Ph.D. in Biotechnology under the supervision of Santiago F. Elena at the Institute for Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio, CSIC–UV), investigating the evolutionary dynamics and environmental drivers of plant viruses.

Subsequently, as an EMBO postdoctoral fellow in the Marie-Anne Félix laboratory at the École Normale Supérieure (IBENS, Paris), my research identified host genetic factors and natural bacterial environments that modulate susceptibility to viral infection in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

As a Pasteur-Roux-Cantarini postdoctoral researcher at the Carla Saleh laboratory (Institut Pasteur, Paris), I examined how enteric viral infections accelerate systemic aging in Drosophila melanogaster, explored microbiome-mediated viral pathogenesis, and studied the experimental evolution of diverse RNA viruses.

Currently, I serve am a Nano4Talent Research Fellow (MSCA-COFUND) at the Center for Research in Nanomaterials and Biomedicine (CINBIO) of the University of Vigo, expanding my research line on host-pathogen interactions and antiviral resilience through advanced systems biology and nanotechnological approaches.
