Research Interests:

My research interests are to understand how bacterial pathogens colonise and cause disease on plants. Precisely, I want to define the genes required for the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum to cause disease on plants and at which steps of the infection process they are required. In addition, I study the potato responses to infection by Ralstonia solanacearum.

Research Interests:

Our research aims at filling a major gap of knowledge by providing a detailed picture of the mechanisms controlling and executing pathogen-triggered programmed cell death (PCD) in plant cells. We are studying the composition and dynamics of protein platforms (“deathosomes”) that may act as cell death rheostats, integrating extra-, inter- and intra-cellular signals to respond to them with a univocal death/non-death decision. We have developed a novel technique to immunoisolate native protein complexes in planta. In a set of pilot experiments using this method, we have identified components of the AtMC1 deathosome, which dynamically respond to PCD triggers and may be part of a regulatory network.

Research Interests:

The hypersensitive response (HR) is form of localized and regulated cell death that often occurs when the plant immune system recognizes potential pathogens. My research focuses on understanding the transcriptional dynamics of HR .

Research Interests:

My objective is to generate high-impact knowledge in plant immunity using the economically relevant rice-Magnaporthe oryzae pathosystem to tackle the questions of how monocots translate molecular pathogen recognition into immune cell death and how dying cells communicate with their neighbours to help activate defences systemically throughout the plant.

Master in Biotechnology Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (2019-2020)

Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry Universidad de Málaga (2015-2019)

Research Interests:

My research is focused on the resistance mechanisms to the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum in tomato, through the production of physico-chemical barriers that block pathogen colonization and disease onset. Specifically, we work in characterizing the role of the ligno-suberin metabolic pathway in the production of these barriers and its relations with disease resistance.
