He undertook postdoctoral training at the Department of Medical Biochemistry of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and at the Center of Molecular Biology “Severo Ochoa” (CBMSO-CSIC), Madrid, Spain. His work has been devoted to the analysis and modification of bacterial pathways for the degradation of hydrocarbons and toxic compounds and to the elucidation of molecular mechanisms of gene expression in bacteria. During the last 20 years, his research group has been focused on the analysis of the global regulation networks that allow coordinating metabolism in pseudomonads. He has published over 130 papers in international journals. He is currently Research Professor of CSIC and Director of the National Centre of Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC).
