Miguel González Guzmán - Associate Professor (PI)

Miguel Gonzalez-Guzman PhD has more than 20 years of experience studying the genetic and molecular basis of the plant responses to environmental stresses, focused in signaling pathways steering plant responses that lead to plant stress tolerance. He has studied different plant species, some of them with a high economic value as some plants catalogued as traditional medicinal plants. He has published 47 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals as Nature, PNAS, and Plant Cell with a h-index of 30, and he has been involved in 17 research projects, five of them as Principal Investigator. He has presented his work in 44 national and international congresses and conferences. Among his main scientific achievements are the molecular characterization of the intracellular receptors of abscisic acid phytohormone (ABA), which is the plant key hormone controlling plant tolerance to water stress and drought, and the identification of new molecular players involved in the plant signaling pathways against biotic and abiotic stresses. From 2022, he is leading together with the associate professor Vicent Arbona the Genetic and Metabolic integration of Biotic and abiotic plant interactions (GaMBiT) group.
