Manuel Martinez-Garcia (hereinafter MMG) is Full Professor of Microbiology at the University of Alicante (Spain). MMG was graduated with full marks and honors in Biology from the University of Alicante (Spain) and in 2005 he received a PhD in Molecular Microbial Ecology. In Europe, MMG conducted three postdoctoral stays: the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology (Bremen), Ludwig-Maximilians University (Munich) and the Laboratory of Photosynthesis at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. During 2009-2011, MMG moved to USA, where as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Single Cell Genomics Center (Bigelow Laboratory Maine, USA), he was developing cutting-edge techniques of Single Cell Genomics combined with Metagenomics to study the metabolic capabilities of uncultured marine and freshwater microbes.
In our lab, we are exploring new ways within Single Cell and Virus Genomics in marine and human (micro-) environments in combination with Metagenomics and Viromics with special focus in the interaction of viruses and their hosts in marine systems to understand how these interactions shape the evolution, diversity, and structure of microbial and viral communities. MMG is funded by National and International Agencies. Contact me for more information about open positions and on-going projects.
