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 [http://www.uv.es/~biodiver/v/inve/grup_transgen.htm Institut Cavanilles]. My interest in applied microbiology led me to Synthetic Biology and to the exciting Hot Yeast Project.
