Professor Cayo Ramos, PhD in Biology from Universidad de Sevilla (Spain), developed his postdoctoral career at The Carlsberg Laboratories (Copenhagen, Denmark), The Spanish National Research Council (Granada) and the Technical University of Denmark. The Cayo’s lab (Universidad de Málaga, Spain) currently focuses on exploring the molecular mechanisms governing the interaction of bacterial phytopathogens with woody hosts, using as model systems diverse strains of the Pseudomonas syringae complex. His projects are also related to biological control of fungal pathogens in the rhizosphere of avocado plants.
