Cristal Lopez-Gonzalez

Postdoctoral Researcher

I am a plant molecular biologist with a Ph.D. in Plant Biotechnology and a background in Food Science and Engineering. My research explores how plants regulate their metabolism and respond to environmental challenges, particularly through interactions with other organisms. What fascinates me most about science is how a simple observation in nature can lead to an unexpected question, and how experimentation allows us to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind it.
