We study bacteria and the biomolecules produced by these microorganisms. Our research focuses on using bacteria as microbial cell factories to produce proteins of biotechnological significance for applications in food, plant protection, veterinary medicine, environmental science, and biomedicine. Additionally, we investigate the modular structure of various proteins to understand the function of each domain, enabling us to construct synthetic proteins with novel or enhanced capabilities.Our group studies bacteria and biomolecules synthesized by these microorganisms. We use bacteria as microbial cell factories to express proteins of biotechnological interest to use in food, plant protection, veterinary, environment and biomedicine. We study the modular structure of different proteins to understand the functional role of each domain and to construct synthetic proteins with novel or improved functions

We are designing, building, and testing biosensors using synthetic biology and cell-free technology. Our goal is to create low-cost, field-deployable biosensors that do not require expensive equipment, such as a PCR machine. Additionally, we are developing a toolbox kit of bioparts based on bacterial promoters for use in synthetic biology.

We aim to establish a new research area in our laboratory focused on alternative food protein production, specifically in the field of Acellular Agriculture. We have begun producing animal proteins using yeast and are scaling this process through precision fermentation to create innovative pet food formulations featuring alternative proteins.
