Biography

I have a degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Córdoba (Spain). After working in different health sectors, I moved to Germany where he has worked and collaborated in different national and international projects. I am currently finishing my doctorate at the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) in the Unit Epidemiology, Zoonoses and Antimicrobial Resistance, Department of Biological Safety. The doctorate focuses on the comparison of phenotypic resistance data together with consumption data from humans and different animal species within and between countries. The results of this work based on the assessment of risk factor data collected in the Antimicrobial Resistance Dynamics (ARDIG) project, a European Joint Program, will be used to improve “One Health” surveillance on AMU and AMR.
