Introduction

The research activity is developed on diferent fields related to waterborne diseases. The wide diversity of expertise by the scientific members of the research group among the different fields of Microbiology, provide MARS of an interdisciplinary character, embracing from field studies, traditional methods, cell line culture to molecular techniques, including studies on Virology, Bacteriology and Parasitology. Analisis of water, food and other matrices. This interdisciplinarity is complemented by the collaboration with scientists from other knowdelege areas.

Strengths

•    Interdisciplinarity: Capacity of collaboration with interdisciplinary teams (computer science, engineer, medical, veterinary, economists, etc.)
•    From virus to protozoa: Diversity of disciplines within Microbiology.
•    From genes to the Ecology of microbial populations: Amplitude of instruments, methodologies and tools that go from the molecular techniques to the traditional methods of culture.
•    From flask to the scale of production plant or the natural ecosystem: the group has the experience to develop studies at different work scales.
