Biology and Evolution of Microorganisms
The Biology and Evolution of Microorganisms Group, whose head is Dr. Rafael Cantón and which is made up of nine other principal investigators as well as numerous pre- and post-doctoral researchers, technicians and other healthcare personnel, has participated in the last 5 years in 17 national and international research projects and in 15 contracts with pharmaceutical companies or companies dedicated to in vitro diagnostics. During this period of time this work has resulted in more than 190 publications in national and international journals with a high impact index and more than 11 doctoral theses. Likewise, more than 400 communications have been presented at numerous national and international congresses. And all this always seeking the highest excellence in the fields of population biology, antibiotic resistance, respiratory infection, microbiota, metagenomics and HIV.
