Rodrigo Sánchez Martínez holds a PhD in Biology from the University of Alicante, specializing in bacteriophage research and its impact on microbial communities. During his doctoral studies in the Molecular Microbial Ecology group, he investigated phage-bacteria interactions in hypersaline environments. He conducted research stays at Institut Pasteur (France) and University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany) to expand his expertise. Currently, Rodrigo is investigating how phages influence gut microbiota structure and function, with particular interest in their therapeutic applications. His work bridges fundamental phage ecology with potential biomedical applications.

Fun fact: Rodrigo enjoys cycling, specialty coffee, and craft beer - passions he balances with his dedication to microbiology.
