ALEXANDRA DÍEZ MÉNDEZ

ALEXANDRA DÍEZ MÉNDEZ serves as Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Sciences and Arts at the University of Avila, actively contributing to the BIOMICROB Microbial Biotechnology research group.

She earned her Doctorate from the University of Salamanca in 2019 with the thesis titled "Genomic and functional analysis of Rhizobium cellulosilyticum ALA10B2T as an agricultural bioinoculant and study of the regulation of the celABC operon in bacterial cellulose biosynthesis," supervised by Dr. Raúl Rivas González and Dr. Pedro F. Mateos.

Her research focuses on Microbial Biotechnology, Microbiology, and Molecular Biology, specifically investigating bacterial genomics for agricultural applications including bioinoculants and cellulose biosynthesis mechanisms. Current work centers on microbial biotechnology solutions within the BIOMICROB framework.

Dr. Díez Méndez maintains active research collaboration through the BIOMICROB group but has no documented scientific awards or student advisement in the provided information. Her institutional role combines teaching responsibilities in the Faculty of Sciences and Arts with ongoing microbial biotechnology research.
