Angel Ferrero-Serrano

Angel Ferrero-Serrano is an Associate Research Professor in the Department of Biology at Pennsylvania State University, affiliated with the Assmann Lab. His research focuses on plant genetics, environmental adaptation, and stress tolerance mechanisms in crops like rice and Arabidopsis. His work integrates genomics, molecular biology, and ecological approaches to understand how plants respond to abiotic stresses such as drought.

His research interests include the role of heterotrimeric G proteins in regulating plant responses to environmental challenges, genome-environment associations in crop improvement, and the molecular basis of drought tolerance. He also explores the ecological impacts of invasive species and plant community dynamics.

His recent articles highlight advancements in genomic tools for predicting plant stress responses, uncovering genetic mechanisms underlying agronomic traits, and developing strategies for enhancing crop resilience. His work bridges fundamental plant biology with applied agricultural science.

Laboratory affiliations include the Assmann Lab, where he collaborates on projects at the intersection of genetics, ecology, and crop improvement.
