Main lines of research
Development of new methods for genomic, metagenomic, epidemiological and evolutionary analysis to apply to the research on infectious dis- eases or dysbiotic microbiota, and also the regular study of them, particularly in the Comunidad Va- lenciana. Our group research focuses on microor- ganisms concerning the human health, in order to propose guidelines to the health administration in relation to certain pathogens, diseases related to the microbiota alteration and outbreaks.
The objective of the studies in genomics, metagen- omics, molecular epidemiology and evolution of organisms and / or microbial communities is their identification, sequencing and comparative and evolutionary analysis. The specific objectives aim to identify the genetic and metabolic factors associat- ed with pathogenesis, to determine the genes or ac- cessory elements responsible for the virulence, for the antigenic features relevant for vaccination or for the resistance to different treatments, as well as the evaluation of transmission routes, etc.
