Nuria Paricio Ortiz

Nuria Paricio Ortiz is a Professor in the Department of Genetics at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Valencia, where she is also affiliated with the University Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (BIOTECMED). She leads research within the GMDMB Molecular Genetics of Development and Biomedical Models group, focusing on genetic mechanisms in development and disease modeling.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of molecular and developmental genetics, particularly using Drosophila as a model organism. Key areas include the study of transposable elements, genome stability, gene regulation during development, and the application of genetic models to understand biomedical processes. Her work contributes to foundational knowledge in genetics with implications for evolutionary biology and human disease mechanisms.

The trends in her research, as inferred from her academic profile and group focus, emphasize molecular analysis of genetic systems, developmental pathways, and the use of Drosophila models to investigate complex biological processes. These studies fall within broader domains of genetics, genomics, and developmental biology, with specific attention to mobile genetic elements and their impact on genome architecture.
