Biography
Álvarez-Martínez F J is a Molecular Biology PhD student at the Universidad Miguel Hernández of Elche. The main theme of his thesis is the identification of natural compounds with antimicrobial capacity to act as antibiotics or in conjunction with those already existing in the treatment of microbial diseases, especially those resistant to traditional drugs. To reach these objectives, computational approaches and in vitro studies using reference microbial strains are used in addition to clinical isolates collected at the General University Hospital of Alicante.
