Laura Tomas Gallardo

Laura Tomas Gallardo is an Associate Professor at Universidad Pablo de Olavide, working in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemical Engineering. She is affiliated with the Centro Andaluz de Biología del Desarrollo (CABD), focusing on microbial degradation pathways and developmental genetics.

• Research Areas: Microbial biodegradation mechanisms, gene regulation in bacteria, extracellular matrix dynamics in stem cell niches, and environmental impacts on climate systems

Key Publications demonstrate expertise in bacterial degradation of aromatic compounds (Rhodococcus sp. TFB), regulatory mechanisms of σ^N-dependent promoters, and ecological impacts of pollution in South American cryosphere regions. Her work also includes clinical studies on vascular malformation treatments.

• Methodological Focus: Proteomics for pathway identification, protein-DNA interaction assays, and in vivo gene expression analysis
