Abraham Ochoa Guerrero

Abraham Ochoa-Guerrero is a Research Fellow at Wageningen University & Research, based in the Laboratory of Genetics. His research focuses on leveraging droplet microfluidics to address chemical and biological challenges, particularly in antibiotic resistance mechanisms and microbial interactions. He investigates collective resistance in E. coli populations against beta-lactam antibiotics, using advanced microfluidic platforms for high-throughput screening.

Key expertise includes enzyme activity analysis, evolutionary genetics, microscopy, HPLC, and microfluidic device development. Current projects explore how collective resistance impacts bacterial evolution under antibiotic stress, combining experimental evolution with genomic sequencing to identify beneficial mutations. Ongoing work involves serial dilution experiments with E. coli strains and droplet-based microfluidic assays for fitness assessment.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned. His research teams collaborate on antibiotic-producing strain discovery and mechanism-based drug resistance studies within the Laboratory of Genetics framework.
