Alejandro Matia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Molecular and Cellular Physiology
BioAlejandro MatÃa conducted his PhD research at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), employing multi-omic technologies such as CRISPR genetic screens to detect new host factors in Poxvirus infections. His interest in Bioinformatics led to the creation of MaGplotR, a tool designed for the analysis of multiple genetic screens. Alejandro also has experience in long-read sequencing, and he has sequenced different viral genomes such as Vaccinia virus, Monkeypox virus and SARS-CoV-2. Alejandro was a visiting scientist at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub (San Francisco) where he conducted single cell transcriptomics experiments with Poxvirus. Currently, Alejandro leverages his omics expertise to unravel the intricate mechanisms of opioid receptor physiology.

BioMy long-term scientific ambition entails establishing an interdisciplinary and diverse laboratory primarily focused on countering antibiotic resistance. This objective comprises three central elements: elucidating the bacterial calcium transduction pathway, crafting innovative therapeutics to treat antibiotic-resistant deep tissue infections, and comprehending how calcium signaling stimulates bacterial pathogenesis mechanisms.
The foundation of my research experience supports the existence of calcium signal transduction pathways in bacteria. This conclusion aligns with various studies that drew indirect connections between calcium signaling and the regulation of other bacterial physiological processes, including virulence.
A thorough grasp of the mechanism by which calcium regulates multidrug-resistant functions, such as efflux, is a crucial stride toward mitigating the global crisis of antibiotic resistance. I am dedicated to contributing significantly to this path of exploration, ultimately driving impactful scientific development and healthcare improvement.
