Alicia Talavera Caro

Biography

I am an environmental microbiologist interested in answering key bioremediation questions. I have collaborated in a laboratory specialized microbiome's proteomics and their important role in the biodegradation pathways. I have worked on plant genomics, gene identification underlying metabolic pathways evaluating the single nucleotide polymorphisms regarding their allelic effect of transcription factor encoding genes. My interests for my PhD are to understand and investigate new insights into the unexplored short-term hydrocarbon cycle by identifying different microalgal hydrocarbons and the roles of uncultivated bacteria involved in their biodegradation, with a focus on analysing the associated genes, proteins, and metabolic pathways.
