Hello, I am Ana!

I currently work as an Assistant Professor in the Area of Microbiology at the Department of Functional Biology and Health at the University of Vigo, where I combine both teaching and research activities.

​

I am a biologist who is deeply passionate about her work, with experience in the identification and characterization of dairy food-spoiling strains using both classical culture-based methods and molecular approaches such as genomics and proteomics. I have also worked on the characterization of functional peptides from food matrices through proteomic techniques.

​

At present, my main research line focuses on the study of disease conditions and their relationship with the microbiome in murine models, using genomic and proteomic approaches.
