CARMEN AMARO GONZALEZ

Carmen Amaro Gonzalez is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Valencia. She is affiliated with the University Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (BIOTECMED) and leads the research group PAFZP, focusing on pathogens in aquaculture, including fish and zoonotic pathogens.

Her research centers on environmental microbiology and bacterial pathogenesis, particularly Vibrio cholerae non-O1 strains. Her work investigates the survival mechanisms and virulence factors of these pathogens in aquatic environments, contributing significantly to understanding zoonotic risks associated with aquaculture systems.

Her research integrates microbial ecology, molecular pathogenesis, and public health, with an emphasis on host-pathogen interactions in aquatic hosts. Though specific publications are not listed here, her long-standing focus indicates sustained contributions to the field of medical and environmental microbiology.

Scientific Awards:

She has supervised multiple theses and leads an active research group involved in projects related to aquaculture pathogens. Her work is supported through institutional affiliation with BIOTECMED, suggesting involvement in national or European research grants, though specific funding is not detailed.

She is part of the PAFZP research group at the University Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (BIOTECMED), which conducts interdisciplinary research on infectious agents affecting fish and their potential zoonotic transmission.
