I graduated in Biology from the University of Vigo. During my PhD, I worked on the molecular diagnosis and epidemiology of important diseases of bivalve mollusks. Currently, I am a member of the Ecology and Marine Biodiversity group (ECOBIOMAR) at the Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas-CSIC (Spain) and I am doing a postdoctoral stay at CIIMAR. The main areas of my work are the ecology of marine parasites and the conservation and sustainable management of marine biodiversity.
