Metagenomics & plant–microbe interactions
Carrión Lab.
Discovering the microbial functions
behind healthier, more resilient plants.
Our research
From microbial diversity
to biological function.
We combine microbial ecology, comparative genomics and experimental biology to understand plant protection against pathogens, drought and other stresses.
