Postdoctoral Researcher at IATA-CSIC. I work on genomics and Bioinformatics, interested in microbes evolution and food technology. Former postdoc in industry working on plant and plant pathogen genomics.

Thanks to the i-COOP BioFrIONa project financed by @csic.es We are conducting a postgraduate course introducing Bioinformatics applied to agri-food Sciences at the Agronomy Faculty of the Universidad Nacional del Comahue (Neuquén, Argentina). This is such an incredible experience !!

When you are on a project meeting plus research short stay at the lab of a scientist friend AND that this friend is running for rector of his University, it is so so beautiful.

One of the priviledge of woking in research is to get to know people from very different places of the world. Let's have a couple of weeks of science and Bioinformatics in Argentina !!

🆕 New publication alert! 🍷 We show how nitrogen supplementation shapes Saccharomyces yeast metabolism, fermentation, and aroma. Strain-dependent effects: inorganic N boosts speed ⚡, organic N enhances key aromas 🌸. 👉 Read more: shorturl.at/cm9A9

Specific impact of nitrogen supplementation on the metabolism of Saccharomyces and hybrids during wine fermentation

Nitrogen is essential for yeast metabolism and is often added to avoid slow or stuck fermentations in the wine industry. This study aimed to investiga…

Un paseo de 60 minutos en la naturaleza 🚶🌳 basta para reducir los efectos del estrés✴️➰👤 El simple contacto con entornos verdes mejora sustancialmente nuestro bienestar.  #Renaturalización

La actividad de la amígdala derecha se reduce después de un paseo por la naturaleza de una hora.
Esta amígdala es una estructura clave del cerebro en el procesamiento del miedo y del estrés.

Today my last two Master's student defended their thesis. I had an incredible luck with the three Bioinf I had this year. Three great works about assembly benchmarking, yeast genomics and CNN for genome annotation. Proud tutor mode on. 👨🏻‍🎓👩🏻‍🎓👩🏻‍🎓

Attending to the IV Foro Colabora on Agrobiotechnology organised by Bioval. Creating strong bridges between basic and applied science, academia and industry, is so important. Scientists also need to make impact on our local economy and employment.
