Our group studies bacteria and the biomolecules synthesized by these microorganisms. We have several research areas, but in particular we use bacteria as microbial cell factories to express proteins of biotechnological interest used in food, crop protection, veterinary, environmental and biomedical applications.

We also study the modular structure of different proteins to understand the functional role of each domain and to construct synthetic proteins with new or improved functions.

In addition, we are working on designing, building, and testing biosensors using synthetic biology, as well as research into new alternatives for energy production using biological systems and how these microbes can improve or influence their production.
