Difusión y Transferencia


Thanks to my research experience abroad, I currently have collaborations with renowned researchers in Europe and the USA. Examples are Dr. Niall English of the School of Bioprocess Engineering of the University College Dublin, Prof. Chris Ooestenbrink from the University of Natural Resources, Vienna, Austria and Dr. Ruhong Zhu from the Computational Biology Center IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, New York. These have resulted in various scientific publications (please refer to my CV) and several research visits in the last years.
