Antonio J. Pazos is a member of the Molecular Biology and Development in Aquaculture Group (Acuibiomol) with over 30 years of experience in bivalve mollusc aquaculture.
He has been Associate Professor since 2010 and previously held positions as FPI fellow (1990–1993), postdoctoral fellow (EU Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, 1996–1998), teaching assistant (2000–2003), interim lecturer (2003–2005), and lecturer (2005–2010). He is a beneficiary of the I3 programme (Programme to promote the incorporation and intensification of research activity in the Autonomous Community of Galicia, 2006). He is the author of 38 publications and has participated in 19 projects and agreements (European, national, and regional).
His main research interests include the improvement of bivalve mollusc production (parental conditioning, induction of settlement and metamorphosis, and characterisation of genes involved in development), the study of mechanisms for the elimination of marine biotoxins, and the application of molecular biology and omics technologies (mainly transcriptomics) to aquaculture.
