Roberto Perez Torrado

Roberto Perez Torrado is a Senior Researcher in the Department of Genetics at the University of Valencia, Spain, actively contributing to the SBYBI research group (Systems Biology in yeasts of biotechnological interest).

Education:

• Doctorate from University of Valencia (2004) with thesis 'Study and improvement of the production process of wine yeasts', supervised by Dr. Emilia Matallana Redondo.

His research centers on systems-level analysis of yeast for biotechnological applications, particularly in wine production. This integrates genetic engineering, metabolic modeling, and fermentation optimization to enhance industrial yeast strains. Key methodologies include omics technologies and computational biology applied to Saccharomyces cerevisiae stress responses.

The SBYBI group under his involvement drives innovation in sustainable bioprocessing, with implications for food security and industrial microbiology. Current work emphasizes translating fundamental yeast biology into scalable fermentation solutions for the viticulture sector.
