Andrea Vega

Ph.D. en Ciencias Biológicas, mención Genética Molecular y Microbiología

La profesora Andrea Vega es licenciada en Ciencias de los Agrorecursos con mención en Agronomía, Magíster en Ciencias Biológicas de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile y Ph.D. en Ciencias Biológicas, mención Genética Molecular y Microbiología de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

Su investigación se centra, específicamente, en cómo las condiciones ambientales afectan el desarrollo de las plantas y su habilidad de enfrentar factores adversos. De particular interés resulta el estudio de redes de regulación genéticas en las interacciones planta-patógeno y sus potenciales aplicaciones biotecnológicas. Además de ser académica en la Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias UAI, es Directora e integrante del Grupo de estudio de Agronomía en Fondecyt.

La académica Vega cuenta con diversas publicaciones en revistas científicas y artículos presentados en conferencias, en países como Estados Unidos, Argentina y China. Asimismo, es investigadora asociada del Núcleo Milenio para el Desarrollo de Plantas Súper Adaptables e investigadora responsable del FONDECYT regular sobre “Unraveling epigenetic regulation in the nitrate-defense response interaction in Solanum lycopersicum”.
