Isabel Picazo Gonzalez

Isabel Picazo Gonzalez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant Biology at the University of Valencia, specializing in Plant Physiology. Her academic work is rooted in plant molecular biology and pathological interactions, particularly involving viroids.

Her research focuses on plant physiological responses to pathogens, with a historical emphasis on the Citrus Exocortis Viroid (CEV). This includes studying non-specific protein alterations during viroid-host interactions, contributing to the understanding of how subviral pathogens disrupt plant cellular functions.

Dr. Picazo earned her doctorate from the University of Valencia in 1982, with a thesis titled Viroide exocortis de los cítricos (CEV): inespecificidad de las alteraciones protéicas asociadas a la interacción viroide-huésped, under the supervision of Dr. Vicente Conejero Tomás.

She has not been mentioned as having advised any theses in the provided text, nor are there any listed scientific awards or recent publications.
