My research contributes to the development of different bioprocesses, such as bioprospecting for secondary metabolites, biocontrol, and biodegradation through the study of global gene expression and genomic regions associated with the control of gene expression. Using bioinformatics tools, I try to find information in the genome of biodegrading fungi that help in the current enzymatic hydrolysis process, used for the production of bioethanol and other compounds resulting from the degradation of carbohydrates. Selecting and investigating relevant species of microorganisms and their phenotypic and genotypic interactions is one of the strategies used to develop the biotechnological potential of different species that participate in economically relevant processes. Coordinating and promoting the use and optimization of bioinformatics tools for the analysis of biological systems based on genomic data is a fundamental part of my research field. Currently, my work has helped to elucidate complex biological systems, through the construction and visualization of expression networks and complex interactions between genes.
