Research group: Global Change and Genomic Biogeochemistry
Genomics biogeochemistry of organic pollutants. I’m interested on studying the interactions between organic pollutants and microorganisms in the oceans. I study the biogeochemical cycle of some families of organic pollutants and their influence on microbial activities and diversities in the coastal marine environment and the open ocean.

Understanding the role of dissolved organic carbon in modulating marine microbiome
Marine microbiomes are the main engines driving the main global biogeochemical cycles, today under threat by global change. Our understanding on the role played by dissolved organic carbon, both biogenic and specially anthropogenic, modulating microbiome functioning, has been hampered by limited analytical techniques.
This project aims to apply meta-omic approaches to disentangle the linkage between chemical, functional and taxonomical diversities in the upper ocean.
