David Gramaje

Since 2015, David is the head of the research group BIOTIVIS at the ICVV. David was a visiting fellow at Stellenbosch University (South Africa), Lincoln University (New Zealand) and the SARDI (Australia) (2008-2010), a Fulbright fellow at Cornell University (USA) in 2016, and a 'José Castillejo' fellow at INRA Bordeaux (France) in 2019 and Mendel University in Brno (Czech Republic) in 2022. His main research interest focuses on the application of next-generation sequencing technology to explore the soil and grapevine microbiome and its interaction with fungal trunk pathogens. David is also actively involved in the development and implementation of integrated management strategies of grapevine trunk diseases in nurseries and vineyards.

Rebeca Bujanda Muñoz

Rebeca is Laboratory Technical Assistant since 1998. She joined the BIOTIVIS lab in 2017 with a contract from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). She assists in experiments aimed to study the effects of abiotic stress conditions on grapevine trunk disease incidence, and to unravel the grapevine microbiome by using next-generation sequencing technologies and its interaction with fungal pathogens associated with grapevine trunk diseases. Rebeca also works on diagnostics of grapevine trunk disease pathogens by using molecular tools.
