Elena Rivas Marin

Elena Rivas Marin serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemical Engineering at Pablo de Olavide University, affiliated with the Andalusian Centre for Developmental Biology (CABD). Her research focuses on bacterial gene regulation within environmental microbiology contexts.

She earned her Ph.D. from Pablo de Olavide University in 2014 with a thesis titled Characterization of the coordinated activation of the divergent promoters Pb-Pc of the thn genes in Sphingopyxis macrogolitabida strain TFA, supervised by Dr. Belén Floriano Pardal and Dr. Eduardo Santero.

Her primary research interests span Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and Gene Expression in environmental bacteria, with applications in Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering. She contributes to doctoral programs in Cellular, Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering under the PAIDI (Andalusian Plan for Research) Biology and Biotechnology framework.
