Spain
Biography
Vicente Monedero holds a bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of Valencia (1992) and developed his doctoral studies from 1993 to 1998 at the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA-CSIC), working on the study of regulatory mechanisms governing phenomenon of repression by catabolite in lactic bacteria, using the genes for the metabolism of lactose as a model.
Research Interest
At present he is also developing a line of research on the interaction of probiotics with heavy metals as a way to reduce exposure to these toxics in food. His current research interests include metabolic engineering in lactic bacteria for the production of metabolites of interest and the mechanisms involved in the probiotic activity of lactic bacteria, with special emphasis on probiotic / virus interaction and intestinal microbiota / virus. At present he is also developing a line of research on the interaction of probiotics with heavy metals as a way to reduce exposure to these toxics in food.
