Hej! My name is David Gómez Blanco and I just started my PhD at the molecular ecology and evolution lab, under supervision of Prof. Dennis Hasselquist. During this PhD, I will be investigating the relationships between mild disease, immune responses and aging; and how these factors are associated with reproductive and life history strategies in studies on wild birds.
I am 24 years old and I come from Spain, where I finished my bachelor’s degree in Biology at the University of Oviedo. After that, I continued my education and I got a Master’s Degree in Biodiversity and Conservation Biology at the Pablo de Olavide University (Seville). Throughout my BSc and MSc I have been interested in the interaction between evolutionary and molecular ecology, especially in birds. I am now very excited to continue my career at Lund University.
I consider myself an active, friendly and easy-going person, so I am looking forward to meeting new people and to discovering a bit of Sweden‘s amazing nature and culture.
