Seila Couso Perez

Seila Couso Perez is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Parasitology at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santiago de Compostela. She is affiliated with the Institute for Aquatic Research for Global Health (iARCUS) and a member of the PARAQUASIL Interdisciplinary Group in Pharmaceutical Technology, Parasitic Immunobiology and Water Parasitosis.

Her research focuses on parasitology, particularly waterborne parasites such as Cryptosporidium, with applications in aquaculture, environmental health, and public safety. Her work integrates microbiological, immunobiological, and pharmaceutical approaches to study gastrointestinal parasites in aquatic systems.

Dr. Couso Perez completed her PhD at the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2019 with a thesis titled Cryptosporidium and other gastrointestinal parasites in trout, supervised by Dra. María Elvira Ares Mazás and Dr. Hipólito Gómez Couso.

She is actively involved in interdisciplinary research through her group PARAQUASIL, which bridges pharmaceutical technology and parasitic immunobiology, with implications for water parasitosis control and global health. Her work contributes to understanding parasite transmission in aquatic environments and developing mitigation strategies.

Currently, no scientific awards or publications are listed in the provided text.

She advises students through her research group and contributes to collaborative projects under iARCUS. While no specific grants are mentioned, her affiliation with research groups suggests ongoing project involvement. Her work is likely oriented toward future developments in parasite detection, treatment, and environmental monitoring in aquaculture and water systems.

The PARAQUASIL research group and iARCUS institute serve as her primary research hubs, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in parasitology and pharmaceutical sciences.
