Monica Garcia Gomez

Dr. Monica Garcia Gomez is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Science, Utrecht University, affiliated with the Theoretical Biology group. Her research integrates computational modeling and experimental approaches to study plant development, focusing on root regeneration, stem cell dynamics, and responses to environmental stress.

• University: Utrecht University
• Department: Theoretical Biology

Her work spans disciplines such as Systems Biology, Computational Biology, and Stem Cell Research, with a particular emphasis on Arabidopsis thaliana as a model organism. Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding transcriptional stochasticity in stem cell differentiation, multiscale mechanisms in root regeneration, and the integration of mechanistic models with machine learning.

Her research often employs gene regulatory network models, phytohormone interactions, and multiscale modeling to dissect developmental processes. She collaborates with groups like the Experimental and Computational Plant Development (IEB) and contributes to translational plant biology through the PlantXR program.
