Biography
My research focuses on the gastrointestinal microbiota of sea turtles
and the impact of antibiotic treatments on their microbiota and overall
health. The goal of this project is to develop effective probiotics for
hospitalized sea turtles, ensuring their optimal recovery before being
released back into the wild.
