Muntsa joined the Kwon Lab as a postdoctoral fellow in February 2019. She finished her Ph.D. in Microbiology at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in 2018 working on the gut microbiome and HIV-1 infection at the AIDS Research Institute IrsiCaixa in Barcelona (Catalonia). Before that, she did an MsC in AIDS Treatment and Pathogenesis and an MsC in Bioinformatics. After spending almost all of her Ph.D. sitting in front of the computer, Muntsa joined the Kwon Lab ready to focus on wet lab work. Her aim is to decipher the role of phages on the changes occurring in the gut microbiome during HIV-1 infection. In her free time, she loves drawing, reading thrillers and cuddling around with her 2 cats.
