David Rodríguez-Lázaro serves as Associate Professor of Microbiology and Head of the Microbiology Division at the University of Burgos, Spain, while directing the Research Centre for Emerging Pathogens and Public Health where he leads an Excellence Research Unit. His career includes research positions at the University of Bristol (Leverhulme visiting Professor 2004-2005, Marie Curie Fellow until 2007), CSIC’s Institute of Molecular Biology, and ITACyL until joining Burgos in 2015.
His educational background comprises:
- Doctor in Veterinary Medicine (DVM)
- MSc in Food Science
- PhD in Molecular Microbiology
- Diplom in Public Health (National School of Health)
Research focuses on food safety, infectious diseases, and antibiotic resistance ecology in food environments, with emphasis on quantitative detection of foodborne pathogens through One Health integration. His work bridges laboratory innovation with real-world public health applications, particularly in pathogen surveillance and risk assessment methodologies.
Recent 2025 publications demonstrate strong trends in wastewater virology surveillance and LAMP-based pathogen detection, spanning environmental virology, molecular diagnostics, and food safety applications. These studies reveal methodological advancements in virus concentration techniques and real-time monitoring of enteric viruses across community settings.
Key scientific recognitions include:
- Leverhulme visiting Professorship
- Marie Curie Research Fellowship
He maintains an extensive collaborative network with 566 co-authors across international institutions, indicating robust grant-supported research infrastructure. Current projects likely involve European or national funding for emerging pathogen research, leveraging his Excellence Research Unit’s capabilities in pathogen detection and public health response systems.
The Research Centre for Emerging Pathogens and Public Health operates as a multidisciplinary hub integrating microbiology, environmental science, and public health expertise, with active projects in wastewater epidemiology, food safety diagnostics, and antibiotic resistance tracking across the Castilla y León region.
