David Peris, researcher at the FunGIALab laboratory and member of the Group for the Biology of Systems in Yeasts of Biotechnological Interest (SBYBI) at the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA-CSIC), research centre at the University of Valencia Science Park, has been appointed Ambassador of the Network of Associations of Spanish Researchers and Scientists Abroad (RAICEX)
RAICEX’s mission is to promote the exchange of experience and knowledge between Spanish research staff working abroad and agents of the Spanish System of Science, Technology and Innovation. The network also acts as an advisory body, information channel and catalyst for international relations in scientific matters, contributing to the strengthening and progress of Spanish science.
The entity has chosen David Peris as representative for his previous work in the associations of Spanish Scientists in USA (ECUSA), of which he was a founding member and first president of the chapter of ECUSA Midwest, and of Spanish Researchers in Norway (IENO), where he collaborated in the development of different international events, such as the round table "CRISPR, Past, Present and Future", which had the participation of Francisco J.M. Mojica.
In addition, he is currently part of the ECUSA Return work team. This sub-commission of ECUSA works to encourage the return of researchers from the United States to Spain, facilitate their transition and create a network connecting scientists with experience in the US., who have already returned. The aim is to foster joint projects, exchange of ideas and access to new job or academic opportunities.

About David Peris
Throughout his career he has led several research projects funded by the European programme H2020, programmes of the Norwegian Research Council (RCN), as well as national, regional and CSIC calls. Its main lines of work focus on the study of biodiversity and the evolution of fungi, exploring their biotechnological applications.
To do this, his laboratory integrates cutting-edge approaches that combine microbiological and molecular methods with advanced bioinformatics tools, driving knowledge and innovation in fungal biotechnology.
