Teresa Gil Gil

I am a PhD student in Madrid at the CNB-CSIC, and I am currently a doctoral researcher Fulbright Scholar in the Department of Biology at Emory University working with Bruce Levin and colleagues (EcLF). My research focuses on the pharmacodynamics of antibiotics and Staphylococcus aureus and the joint action of these drugs, bacteriophages and the innate immune system using Galleria mellonella. I received my Bachelors Degree in Microbiology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and I performed the last year of my Bachelors Degree at the San Diego State University (SDSU) and the University of Helsinki.  My Bachelors Thesis is the study of biofilm dispersion which I did in collaboration with Dr. Isidre Gibert and colleagues at the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (IBB) Barcelona.  I then received my Masters Degree in Genetics and Molecular Biology at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). My PhD dissertation is on antibiotic resistance in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia which I am doing with Dr. José Luis Martínez in the Ecology and Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance group in the Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia (CNB).
