As laboratory manager of the marine zooplankton ecology group, my work is to maintain the zooplankton, microzooplankton and phytoplankton cultures since 2013. I also take care, purchase and management of laboratory general equipment, provide labware, update protocols and do the training, control and support of PhD students and researchers who need to use any kind of culture techniques, such as the sample analysis equipment Coulter Multisizer Counter. Additionally, I’m responsible for the conservation and managing of the algae and protozoa culture collection.
Furthermore, I collaborate in research tasks and different projects with copepods, conducting feeding, behaviour and metabolism experiments to investigate ecological aspects of this marine curious animals.
