🎓 I successfully defended my PhD thesis last Thursday! Huge thanks to my amazing advisors @diegoromerohi & Carlos Molina-Santiago and my evaluation committee members Cayo Ramos (IHSM La Mayora), Andrea Chini (Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CSIC)), and Sebastian Pfeilmeier (UvA Amsterdam) for making it a super special day ☺️

Happy to announce my last paper where we described the dramatic effect of a Bacillus cyclodipeptide on fungal plasma membrane. Cyclo(Pro-Tyr) elicits conserved cellular damage in fungi by targeting the [H+]ATPase Pma1 in plasma membrane domains biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are happy to announce that our last work is almost ready! Stay tuned. It's coming soon!! IHSM La Mayora frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Thrilled to announce that my last paper has been published!. We describe the mode of action of a Bacillus cyclodipeptide on phytopathogenic organisms, disrupting the ATP biosynthesis. Thanks to my collaborators rdcu.be/dVYYE nature.com/articles/s4200…

Excited to share this preprint of a new research line led by Carlos Molina-Santiago, where we engineered the T6SS of P. putida to deliver effectors against bacterial cells and fungal pathogens like B. cinerea. Thanks to our collaborators! @diegoromerohi #t6ss #ihsm researchsquare.com/article/rs-563…

Happy to announce my last preprint where we described the characterization of a novel bacterial glucanase with antifungal activity and potential in agricultural applications. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our latest preprint! A fascinating story of chemical dialogue and microbial warfare: the Bacillus extracellular matrix acts as a key driver in the antagonistic interaction with Botrytis, while the fungus mounts a multi-layered defense. 🔗 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
