I am a microbial ecologist specializing in the study of community interactions and chemical ecology within bacterial communities. My research focuses on understanding the assembly mechanisms of complex microbial communities inhabiting animal hosts. I am particularly interested in how these microbial interactions influence host health, especially in the context of emerging diseases and the impacts of climate change.

My PhD project is looking for understand the assembly mechanisms from the skin microbiome of amphibians and its functionality against an emerging pathogen. Mainly, I'm investigating the ecological interactions between bacteria from the skin microbiome and the genetics basis. Furthermore, I'm looking for the functionality of the skin microbiome from amphibians.
