Biography

Maria Gabriela Mariduena-Zavala is an Agricultural Engineer from Ecuador with a Master's degree in Biotechnology. She has been involved in Agricultural Research and carried out various studies in the Phytopathology Department at Espol University in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Her research has been directed towards the use of omics tools for the characterization of pathogenic fungi from the main crops in Ecuador. Among her studies, the morphological and genetic characterizations of Moniliophthora species from cocoa crops in Ecuador as well as the investigation of metabolomics profiles of isolates resistant to fungicides including Mycosphaerella fijiensis and Phytophthora infestans are noteworthy. Her current studies focus on “The use of metabolomics and metagenomics techniques for understanding of the behavior of fungal communities”.
