Raquel Correa-Delgado is a biologist by the University of La Laguna (2016), and two Master\u2019s degrees: Applied Plant Biology from the Complutense University of Madrid (2017) and Agroforestry Biotechnology from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (2018). She obtained her PhD in Biodiversity and Conservation at the University of La Laguna (2025), with International Mention due to research stays at different national and international research centres and universities.
During her predoctoral stage, her research focused on the biodiversity and functional role of beneficial soil microorganisms associated with plant health, particularly species of Trichoderma<\/em> and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Using high-throughput sequencing and evolutionary phylogenetic approaches, she contributed to the identification and characterization of microbial taxa, including new reports for science. Her work also addressed plant\u2013microorganism interactions, with special emphasis on the mechanisms underlying induced plant defence, stress tolerance, and biological control of pathogens and pests. In parallel, she investigated the effects of organic amendments and other management practices on soil microbial communities and their implications for agroecosystem sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

During her postdoctoral stay at Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) (Switzerland), her work was focused on the analysis of high-throughput sequencing data to study microbiome dynamics in agricultural systems.
Currently, her research interests lie in soil microbiology and plant\u2013microbe interactions, integrating molecular, ecological, and bioinformatic approaches to understand how microbial communities contribute to soil functionality, crop performance, and resilience under sustainable agricultural management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
