Researcher with interests in food microbiology and safety

[Avelino Alvarez @MetaResistantB]

These insights are crucial for AMR stewardship and designing better policies to monitor and manage ARGs in the food sector.
A big thanks to @narmquijada, @JCobodiaz and @enzovalentino94 and to our fantastic collaborators across Europe!

Excited to share our new study published in Nature Microbiology!
We explored the resistome of foods and food production environments using metagenomics.
This work is part of the EU-funded MASTER project.

We also found that some industrial processes and environmental conditions significantly influence ARG presence and spread.
This opens doors to interventions in food systems to curb AMR risk.

Very proud of Coral Barcenilla, who yesterday received an award of our @unileon to the best PhD Thesis in the field of Health Sciences. Very much deserved and a sign of her bright future!

[NEWTEC @NEWTEC_ULe]

When science meets friends and good weather! Our colleague @MetaResistantB at the Food Safety workshop organised by @iata_csic talking about 'The role of food processing systems on the spread of Antimicrobial Resistance'.

Congrats to @forestsomewhere! For the hard work over the last years and the very good defence!

[Paul Cotter @pauldcotter]

Huge congratulations to @forestsomewhere on the very successful defence of her thesis today.
A big thank you to examiners Effie Tsakalidou and @JenniferMahony7 & chair Richard Kavanagh and kudos to Katie’s other supervisors Cormac Gahan,
@MetaResistantB and Alain Filloux

El grupo de investigación #NEWTEC es uno de los 52 expositores que en la sexta edición de #Expocienciaunileon sacan sus trabajos de las aulas de la Universidad para difundirlos a la sociedad y despertar vocaciones científicas. Pasa a vernos! #unileondivulga

[ANA ALLENDE @AALLENDEPRIETO]

I have no words to express the sadness and pain I feel. My friend, my colleague—you will be deeply missed.

[DeliSoil @DeliSoilEU]

DeliSoil’s 🇪🇸 Spanish Regional Working Group is underway! @BETA_TechCenter & @unileon co-led the 1st meeting, bringing stakeholders together to co-create solutions for soil health.
