Juan M García Lobo holds a PhD degree in Biological Science issued by the University of the Basque Country. After a postdoctoral formation in UCLA (Los Ángeles) and UMDNJ (Piscataway, New Jersey)  he was appointed as Microbiology  professor at the Medical School of the University of Cantabria. He is also a head of research group in the IBBTEC. His work was mainly focused in the mechanisms of mobility of antibiotic resistance genes in medically important bacteria and the pathogenicity of Brucella. Actually he is involved in the Preventive Conservation Altamira Cave, specifically in the assessment of biodeterioration risks.

​Molecular Biology of Brucella Pathogenicity


Research lines 

    •  Brucella virulence factors (and their regulation).
    •  Metagenomics and microbial ecology

Group history

Our research group holds a long record of activity in the field of Molecular Microbiology. Our previous work in mechanisms of recombination and mobility of antibiotic resistance genes in medically important bacteria was  followed by the analysis of molecular pathogenicity of Brucella giving significant contributions to new vaccines and epidemiological methods.  By adopting high throughput methods and new generation sequencing we broadened our studies in Brucella and starting moving to the field of metagenomics and ambiental microbiology.
