César Cortés García

He is a veterinarian and beekeeper. He combines his two passions in his professional life: beekeeping, managing his family business with transhumant beehives, where he is responsible for over 35,000 hives, and veterinary medicine, specializing in wildlife. He has collaborated with various research groups and university student clubs focused on wildlife. Additionally, he completed his internships at NAC clinics and Oceanogràfic.

Currently, he is a research assistant at CEU Cardenal Herrera, supported by an FPI grant, where he is conducting his doctoral thesis focused on metabolomics and its application to wild rabbits. His research aims to use this pioneering tool for the conservation of the rabbit, a keystone species in the Mediterranean ecosystem, which is currently endangered. In the long term, the goal is to apply this methodology to other endangered species.
