- Our colleague, a medical specialist in Microbiology and Parasitology, has spent years contributing to scientific knowledge in microbiology and public health.
- As chair of the Scientific Commission on Microbiology within SEMEDLAB’s scientific committee, he will promote innovation in the genetic applications of microbiology.
Madrid, June 17, 2025.
Genetic applications in microbiology have profoundly transformed our ability to understand, diagnose, and combat infectious diseases. The study of microbial DNA and RNA not only enables highly accurate pathogen identification, but also the detection of antimicrobial resistance genes and the tracking of epidemic outbreak evolution. This technological revolution is crucial to the advancement of clinical microbiology and public health, and it is precisely in this field where Dr. Tomás García Lozano’s work stands out.
A specialist in Microbiology and Parasitology, Dr. García Lozano has dedicated his career to applied research, with a focus on microbiology and its impact on human health. He currently works as a physician at Miguel Servet Hospital in Zaragoza—a leading center in clinical microbiology—and collaborates with Health in Code as an expert in molecular techniques in microbiology for clinical applications.
His career includes numerous scientific publications and active participation in the development of guidelines for the Ministry of Health regarding vector-borne diseases. Now, as the new chair of the Scientific Commission on Microbiology of the Spanish Society of Laboratory Medicine (SEMEDLAB), he joins the Scientific Committee with a commitment to fostering innovation in molecular genetics and its integration into clinical biology.
From this position, he will help strengthen a ‘One Health’ approach, which promotes collaboration across disciplines such as human medicine, veterinary science, microbiology, and ecology to address global threats like antimicrobial resistance and emerging pandemics.
Molecular applications in clinical microbiology are essential in this context, as they allow for the rapid and accurate detection of pathogens, improving the response capacity to complex health risks.
