Biografía

JM Mulet (Denia, 1973) Licenciado en química y doctor en bioquímica y biología molecular por la Universidad de Valencia. Hizo una estancia postdoctoral de tres años en la Universidad de Basilea (Suiza). Actualmente es catedrático de bioquímica y biología molecular en el departamento de biotecnología de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV) y dirige una línea de investigación en el Instituto de Biología Molecular y Celular de Plantas, centro mixto del CSIC y la UPV, tratando de desarrollar plantas tolerantes a sequía o a frío, con numerosas publicaciones científicas, patentes y algún premio. Es director académico del Máster en Biotecnología Molecular y Celular de Plantas. En paralelo a su labor académica e investigadora desarrolla una amplia actividad como divulgador científico. Es autor del libro “Comer sin Miedo” de que se han vendido más de 20.000 ejemplares y se ha publicado en varios países, de “Medicina sin Engaños”, “La Ciencia en la Sombra”, “Transgénicos sin miedo”, “¿Qué es comer sano?” y “¿Qué es la vida saludable?”. También es autor del blog “tomates con genes” (jmmulet.naukas.com). Escribe la sección “Ciencia sin Ficción” en “El País Semanal” y “Fotogramas de ciencia” en Métode. Es colaborador en varios programas de la cadena SER y Apunt Radio. Conferenciante habitual sobre temas relacionados con la alimentación o la biotecnología y su cuenta de twitter es una de las más seguidas de un científico en activo de habla hispana (@jmmulet). Su último libro es “Comemos lo que somos”.
