Research Interests
Taxonomy of freshwater crustaceans and diversity of copepoda in the Iberian Peninsula. Biochemical aspects underlying organisms’ ecological preferences: Biodiversity of zooplankton and relationship with the available nutrients at the base of the aquatic food web; metabolism of fatty acids (FA) and the role of FA bioconversion and lipid metabolism in crustacean fitness; carotenoids as potential dietary requirements.
In the latter years I’ve become interested in cancer as an ecological phenomenon where cells resort to migration to maintain their high growth rate; metabolomics and lipidomics. Role of fatty acids (FA) and phospholipids in cell membrane stability; lipid metabolism.
