Correct me I acquired a strong expertise in different fields such as microbiology, behavioural ecology, ecophysiology and evolutionary ecology. Concretely, my knowledge the different techniques, among others, in immunology and physiology, will not only be extremely beneficial for the achievement of the aims proposed in this project, but will be an excellent complement for the development of other research carried out at the institution. Hence, I am confident that I can make a major contribution to the host organisation by using my background skills to assist researchers in the department and I can run a project independently when required to do so.
