Biography

I am an evolutionary biologist with a keen interest in host-microorganisms interactions. After a PhD in Evolutionary Biology and a Masters in Ecology, I gained experience in varied fields of Biology, from Population Genetics to Microbiology. During my PhD I investigated the evolution and genetic architecture of bacterial resistance in a natural population of a crustacean host. Throughout my studies and research I have worked; in the field or in the lab; with tits, marmots, spiders, crustaceans and now mice. I enjoy challenging field work as much as tidy lab work. In my current research as a postdoc at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, I am investigating the interplay between the evolution of the commensal bacterium Escherichia coli in mice gut and the adaptive immune system of the host.
