For many years (from 2006 until 2012 at IBB-BSRG group), using chemogenomics and metabolomics approaches, I have investigated the mechanisms underlying the yeast model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae response to the food preservative propionic acid and to ethanol, a renewable energy source and the main toxic product of wine fermentation. After this period, I moved to the group of Dr. Marta Artal Sanz group at the CABD (Seville, Spain) for a Post-Doc position. During this period (2012-2018), using RNAseq, lipidomics and metabolomics approaches, my research focused on mitochondrial signalling crosstalk in the regulation of ageing using the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism (widely used into ageing research and also as an infectious model for a variety of bacterial and fungal pathogens).
