Current interests
Currently developing the BIOPACKS research project as a “CIDEGENT” Fellow. The BIOPACKS project is focused on the study of the underground aquatic fauna of the Valencian Community to provide novel information, incorporate new molecular methods into the field and discover new enzymes with potential biotechnological application.
