Roque Luis Ros Palau

Roque Luis Ros Palau is a Professor in the Department of Plant Biology at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences, University of Valencia. He is affiliated with the University Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (BIOTECMED) and leads research within the MePiVe group focused on Primary Metabolism and Metabolic Engineering of Plants.

His research centers on plant physiological responses, particularly in the context of heavy metal stress such as cadmium and nickel, and their effects on membrane properties and metabolic functions. His foundational work includes the characterization of plasma membrane ATPase in rice and its interaction with lipid membrane composition under stress.

The trends in his research, though not detailed in recent publications here, indicate a strong focus on plant stress physiology, metabolic regulation, and biotechnological applications in agriculture and environmental remediation.
