Summary

CSIC Group Leader working at Institute for Plant Molecular and Cell Biology.

Research has focused on the study of different areas of RNA biology in plants and viruses: from the basic understanding on how RNAs regulate gene expression and control or induce diseases to a more applied and biotechnological research aiming to engineer artificial RNAs for the efficient and selective control of plant gene expression or to repress pathogenic RNAs and generate disease resistance.

Current research seeks to develop GMO-free biotechnological tools for crop improvement based on artificial small RNAs.
