Ester Perez Lorences

Ester Perez Lorences is a Professor in the Department of Plant Biology at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences, University of Valencia. Her academic specialization lies in Plant Physiology, and she is actively involved in research related to plant metabolism and cell wall dynamics.

Her research interests focus on the biochemical and metabolic processes in plants, particularly the changes in cell wall polysaccharides during growth. This includes studies on species such as Pinus pinaster, reflecting a strong foundation in both fundamental plant physiology and applied metabolic engineering.

The trends in her research, as inferred from her thesis and affiliations, emphasize primary metabolism in plants and the engineering of metabolic pathways for improved plant traits. These efforts are aligned with sustainable agriculture and biotechnological applications in forestry and food sciences.

• Scientific Awards:

She has supervised at least one doctoral thesis, indicating her role in academic mentoring, though no current students are listed. There is no mention of external grants or funding sources in the provided text.

She is a member of the MePiVe (Primary Metabolism and Metabolic Engineering of Plants) research group, which focuses on understanding and manipulating metabolic pathways in plants for scientific and industrial applications.
