Pascual Garcia Perez

Pascual Garcia Perez is an Investigador Ramón y Cajal at the University of Murcia, affiliated with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the Department of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bromatology. He leads research in the Nutrición, Biotecnología Alimentaria y Aspectos Legales (Biofun) group, with prior involvement in the Plants Biofactory research group. His doctoral degree from the Universidad de Vigo (2021) focused on phytochemical valorization of Bryophyllum spp. using biotechnological and machine learning tools.

His research emphasizes metabolomics, plant biochemistry, and the application of advanced analytical techniques to study bioactive compounds in medicinal plants, food systems, and agricultural crops. Key themes include plant stress responses, food authenticity, and the bioavailability of nutrients in microgreens and fermented foods. Collaborative projects explore sustainable agriculture practices and the industrial exploitation of underutilized plant species.

Recent work highlights multi-omics approaches to elucidate metabolic pathways under abiotic stresses, the development of biocontrol strategies for crop diseases, and the optimization of extraction methods for phytochemicals. His publications reflect a strong focus on integrating computational tools with experimental data to predict metabolic outcomes and enhance food quality.

Although no formal academic awards are listed, his extensive publication record and prestigious Ramón y Cajal position underscore his contributions to food and agricultural sciences. His advisory roles and research mentorship are reflected in his doctoral training under Dr. Pedro Pablo Gallego Veigas.
