Biography
I'm a third year PhD student enrolled at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), Spain. Here at UAB, I'm a part of the microbial biosensor group in which we tend to develop sensitive, cheap and fast detection tools for industrial or public health applications. My work is to develop microbial detection and quantification methods in clear and turbid media or on paper, by using optical, colorimetric or fluorescence readings. Also, I'm part of a diagnostic group at the University Hospital of Vall d'Hebron in Barcelona, Spain. Here, the focus is to develop diagnostic and monitoring tools for infectious microorganisms. My role is to implement and optimize different colorimetric or fluorescent immunological assays for virus detection and to make it as sensitive and fast as possible. During the academic year, I hold practical classes in basic microbiology for the UAB students
