Biography
Jeronimo Rodriguez Beltran is a PI at the Ramon y Cajal Hospital in Madrid (Spain). His work focuses on understanding how bacteria evolve to resist antibiotics. During his PhD, he explored the genetic responses bacteria activate when exposed to antibiotics, revealing how these responses contribute to their survival and evolutionary adaptation. In his postdoctoral research, he examined a complementary aspect of bacterial evolution: plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance. In 2021, he founded the Evodynamics Lab with the aim of understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes that drive the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance.
