Ana Parga Martinez

Ana Parga Martinez serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Department of Microbiology and Parasitology and the Institute for Aquatic Research for Global Health (iARCUS), while also contributing to the Strategic Grouping in Sustainable Management and Production of Bioresources (BioReDes) and the DITAPREIN research group focused on infectious disease biotechnology.

Her academic credentials include:

• Doctorate from the University of Santiago de Compostela (2023) with thesis "Quorum sensing and oral biofilm: an alternative for the prevention and treatment of oral diseases" supervised by Dra. Ana Otero

Her research integrates quorum sensing mechanisms, biofilm dynamics, and oral pathogen behavior to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for infectious diseases. This work bridges fundamental microbiology with clinical applications in antimicrobial resistance and microbial community management, emphasizing biotechnological solutions for disease prevention.
