My basic research interest is focused on the pathogenesis and immune response induced by the parasite F. hepatica in ruminants to develop effective vaccines to control fasciolosis. Nowadays, I am the principal investigator of a project (VACUFAS) funded by FEDER budget searching new vaccine prototypes against F. hepatica. Apart from this, I am participating actively in four Spanish funded projects (Inter-Fas, MYCOTRAINING, ATTILA, COVID-19). Moreover, I have participated in 5 European (HELIVAC, FLUKVAC, PARAGONE, PARAVAC, ASFRIK). Along my scientific career, I have published 35 peer-reviewed articles (D1: 21; Q1: 9; Q2: 5) in relevant journals mainly in the Area of Veterinary Sciences, 12 in public veterinary specialised journals and 4 book chapters. My h-index is 10 with 326 total citations (SCOPUS). Additionally, I have supervised two Theses (2017 and 2018), two Master project (2017 and 2020) and one End of degree project (2019) at UCO, and, currently, I am the main supervisor of one Master project and two End Degree projects as well as the co-supervisor of one Master project. My work has been presented in 73 international/national congresses participating as Congress organiser in two of them. I am teaching (lectures and practical teaching) in the Veterinary Medicine degree at University of Cordoba (Subjects: Cytology and Histology, General Anatomical Pathology and Systemic Anatomical Pathology) accumulating more than 500 hours so far.
