Verónica Casquero García
Técnico Superior Especializado de OPIs
ORCID code: 0000-0002-2365-394X
Verónica Casquero García es Licenciada en Bioquímica y en Biología, con amplia experiencia en técnicas de biología molecular, incluyendo aislamiento de ADN y ARN, PCR, RT- y qPCR, clonaje, mutagénesis dirigida, silenciamiento génico mediante shRNA y edición génica con CRISPR-Cas9. Posee experiencia en cultivo y manipulación de células madre embrionarias de ratón, células primarias de ratón y humano y líneas celulares, así como en técnicas de bioquímica de proteínas y en microscopía. Su trayectoria investigadora abarca varios centros incluyendo CSIC, CNIC y CNIO. Desde su incorporación al CNM en el Laboratorio de Referencia e Investigación en Resistencia a Antibióticos e IRAS ha sido clave en la actualización y desarrollo de técnicas moleculares y pruebas diagnósticas del Programa de Vigilancia en Infecciones Estafilocócicas. Domina la extracción de ADN/ARN bacteriano de distintos tipos de muestras y la preparación de librerías para secuenciación genómica, metagenómica y metatranscriptómica.
