Lourdes Migura graduated from the University of the Basque Country with a degree in Science in 1996. She began her research career at the Agency of Veterinary Laboratories (VLA, UK) in 1999, working as a junior researcher in the Department of Food within the Environmental Safety Program on behalf of DEFRA (Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), where he was a member of the antimicrobial resistance team. He earned a doctorate in medical microbiology from the University of Liverpool. Lourdes moved to Denmark in 2007 to work as a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Denmark, at the European Union Reference Laboratory on Antimicrobial Resistance (EURL-AR) and a collaborating center of the Organization. World Health Organization (WHO). For the first two years, he worked on a European project focused on the study of the evolution and transfer of mobile genetic elements between Gram-positive bacteria. The next two years, Dra. Migura-García participated in the activities of the EURL-AR, the harmonization of protocols, the organization of scientific workshops and the execution of research projects. In December 2010 he moved to IRTA-CReSA (Barcelona) and established his line of research in Antimicrobial Stewardship. During these years at IRTA-CReSA, Lourdes has actively collaborated with national and international colleagues participating in research projects on zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, molecular epidemiology of foodborne pathogens, including complete genome sequencing studies. and analysis of risk factors associated with the emergence of resistance. In collaboration with the sector, it also participates in microbiota studies and the use of alternatives to antimicrobials in livestock production. Lourdes is part of the PRAN expert group "National Action Plan to reduce the risk of selection and dissemination of antibiotic resistance" coordinated by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS). He collaborates in different working groups and has participated in the analysis and drafting of the new report entitled JIACRA-ES, an approach to Unique Health to associate the consumption of antimicrobials and the emergence of resistance in human medicine. and veterinary. She has co-authored more than 45 manuscripts in the area of microbiology and antimicrobial resistance, supervised doctoral and master’s theses, and presented data in the form of oral presentations and posters at national and international conferences. She also participates as a professor in different master's degree programs.
