Lourdes research is focussed in trying to understand the genetic diversity of native or endemic plant species at the genetic level for conservation or sustainable agricultural use. She is interested in the use of genomic tools to deeply understand the structure and population dynamics of the species she work with and to characterize microbiomes in different contexts. She also works with animal species in collaboration with other researchers. Within her laboratory she has several projects related to the in vitro plant propagation of several species. She is also interested in the field of biosafety related to genetically modified organisms and responsible management of genetic resources.<\/p>\n
