Susana Vilchez's Problem Solving Experience:
- I have developed a methology to dry bacteria in a stable way.
- I discovered a bacterium active against one of the worst pest world wide, the MediterrĂ¡nean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata)
- I developed a phage diplay system to display Cry toxins on the surface of a phage in order to have a molecular tool for the search of toxins with new binding profile.
- I developed a suicide system on bacteria dependent on the presence of the root of plants.
