Overview

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 microbiome from amphibians  that live in degraded environments.Finally, I'm looking for how the microbiome is assembling in a macro-scale (biogeography).
