My study is focused on the taxonomy, systematics and evolution of fungi that live in symbiosis with other organisms like insects. I am particularly interest on discovering to what extent symbiotic relationships led fungi to adaptations throughout evolution. The groups of fungi with which I have the most experience belongs to the Hypocreaceae family, i.e., Escovopsis, Sympodiorosea, Luteomyces and Trichoderma (which are associated with one of the most studied models of symbiosis, fungus-growing ant system). Notwithstanding, I am constantly in search of new systems of symbiosis as well as the fungal simbionts that inhabit them.
