Personal presentation
My name is Manuel Porcar.
I got my degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Valencia (Spain), carried out my PhD at the UPNA in Pamplona (Spain) and then a four-year post-doc at Institut Pasteur (Paris, France). My research topic is the entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis and its application in pest control, including GM crops. Today, I lead a research group on Sustainability of Transgenics in the Institut Cavanilles. My interest in applied microbiology led me to Synthetic Biology and to the exciting iLCD Project.
