Summary

Genomics biogeochemistry of organic pollutants. I’m interested on studying the interactions between organic pollutants and microorganisms in the oceans. I study the biogeochemical cycle of some families of organic pollutants and their influence on microbial activities and diversities in the coastal marine environment and the open ocean.
