Josefa Castillo Aliaga

Josefa Castillo Aliaga is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry A at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Valencia. She is a member of the InDeST Research Group (Innovative Diagnostic and Therapeutical Developments in Solid Tumors), where her work focuses on advancing molecular approaches to cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of biochemistry and molecular biology, with a strong emphasis on gene expression, chromatin structure, and molecular mechanisms in solid tumors. Early in her career, she conducted research in plant molecular biology, particularly on chromatin proteins in pea embryos.

The InDeST research group reflects her current focus on translating molecular discoveries into clinical applications for oncology. While no specific publications or awards are listed in the provided text, her academic trajectory indicates a sustained commitment to both basic and applied research in molecular oncology and biochemistry.

She earned her doctoral degree from the University of Valencia in 2004 with a thesis titled "Clonación del CDNA y expresión del Gen de una proteina de la cromatina de embrión de guisante", supervised by Dr. María Isabel Rodrigo Aleixandre.

She has advised at least one PhD student (herself) and may continue to mentor graduate researchers through the InDeST group, though no formal advisees are listed. No grants or external funding sources are mentioned in the provided text.
