José I. Hernández Lobato
José Ignacio Hernández Lobato studied Pharmacy at the Universidad de Salamanca in Spain and later got his license to practice in Berlin.
He then studied Molecular Life Sciences at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. There, he focused on Microbiology at the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Regine Hengge, where he started his research on the molecular mechanisms in which some compounds inhibit biofilm formation, the main topic of his Master's Thesis.
José is working as a research associate of Prof. Hengge's lab for the project Weaving.
