BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
Current research is focused on the study of the unique complex relationships between the host and the microbiota and understand the foundations of innate immunity. Particularly, I use the germ-free model in transgenic fish analyzed through live-imaging, molecular, and genomic techniques.
