Ramón y Cajal fellow at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN-CSIC, Spain)
I am an environmental microbiologist with a great interest on using bioinformatic approaches to study microbial metabolism and evolution. My research has focused on archaeal metabolism, environmental metagenomics and cultivation of novel microorganisms. Currently, I use next-generation sequencing technologies to link microbial function in different environments: from urban wastewaters to the polar regions.

Christmas reunion of the Department - 18h December
----------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday,
the members of the Department of Biogeochemistry and Microbial Ecology
had a Christmas reunion before the holiday season🎄🎅🏻
It was a great moment to remember the year and discuss new projects for 2025.
We all hope that you have a happy Christmas and our best wishes for 2025!

Alejandro is here!

Alejandro Rodriguez Gijón is the new member of the lab 🙌 Last January, he defended his PhD thesis at the Stockholm University on the ecological meaning of prokaryotic genome size 🧬🦠
Now he is here with a special fund 🏆 from the ISME Society to write new proposals and join the ARGOS team 👨🔬
Hands up for a great start!
