Miguel Angel Perez-Amador

Biólogo por la Universidad de Valencia en 1990.

Entre 1991 y 1995 realicé mi tesis doctoral en el IBMCP de Valencia con Juan Carbonell, trabajando en la fisiología y biología molecular de las poliaminas durante el desarrollo y la senescencia del fruto en guisante.

En 1996 me trasladé al Plant Research Lab de la Universidad Estatal de Michigan para realizar una estancia postdoctoral en el laboratorio de Pamela Green, donde pasé casi cinco años investigando el mecanismo celular de degradación de ARNm y posteriormente en el desarrollo de la primera plataforma de microarrays en plantas (Arabidopsis).

Regresé al IBMCP en 2001 con un contrato Ramón y Cajal, donde continué investigando el desarrollo del fruto y me especialicé en el papel de las giberelinas en Arabidopsis.

En 2005 obtuve una plaza permanente como Científica Titular en el IBMCP y comencé a liderar mi propio grupo. Desde entonces, nos hemos interesado por distintos aspectos de la regulación hormonal del cuajado y desarrollo del fruto, y más recientemente en el papel de las giberelinas en el desarrollo de los óvulos y semillas.
