¡Hola!, I'm Alejandro Rodríguez Gijón (He/Him). I'm an environmental microbiologist who aims to understand the ecology and evolution of Archaea and Bacteria by using metagenomics and environmental metadata. Here below you can find a bit of my background!
- PhD candidate at the Microbial Interactions - Garcia Group at Stockholm University & SciLifeLab (Stockholm, Sweden).
- Internship at the Molecular Ecology Group at the Istituto di Ricerca sulle Acque (Verbania, Italy).
- Msc. in Conservation of Biodiversity and Ecology at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid, Spain).
- BSc. in Biology at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Madrid, Spain).
