I have developed my scientific carrier in the field of Plant and Forest Pathology. Although I am interested in all the aspects and factors involved in plant and tree pathosystems from the molecular to the ecological level, I am mostly focused on the study of the occurrence and diversity of viruses on fungal and oomycete tree pathogens, such as Gremmeniella abietina, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus​, Fusarium circinatum and Phytophthora species. By studying the virome of tree pathogens we can answer unresolved questions related to their pathogenicity, invasion history and co-evolution with the host.
