Clara Ontañón

Inside the LAB

Clara Ontañón's experiments involve viruses, insects, and plants. She studies viruses that are transmitted into different crops by insects. She tries to generate a "deactivated virus" that insects can acquire instead of the infectious one to protect the plant.

Outside the LAB

Once Clara leaves the lab, she likes to read read historical novels, especially about the Roman empire. She loves reading on the beachand even better if it´s in the sunset. She combines these calm hobbies with some drenaline, doing sports like running, hiking, and canoeing.
