Biography

Gemma Reguera is an accomplished academic with a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Oviedo, Spain, and a Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Reguera's research focuses on understanding how microbes adaptively respond to environmental changes and exploits this knowledge to develop technologies aimed at preventing human exposure to contaminants, pollutants, and pathogens. Her team studies 'electric' microbes and harnesses their activities for applications in bioremediation, nanotechnology, and bioenergy. Additionally, she investigates microbial communities that can help remove agrochemicals and develops strategies to manipulate their remediation capabilities in situ. Dr. Reguera also applies her expertise in applied environmental microbiology to explore and manipulate human-associated microbiomes by adapting to internal and external stimuli.
