Biography

Simon Miranda is a Biologist and Master in Biological Sciences of the University of Chile, whose main interests are within the field of plant molecular biology and nutrition. During his Master thesis, he has acquired ample skills in plant molecular biology, phenotyping and in vitro transformation and regeneration of genetically modified plants, for studying the metabolism of antioxidant compounds related to human health. Therefore, he is currently working, along with Talia del Pozo (PI), in a research project for addressing diverse questions related to biofortification of fruits, with the aim of applying available genomic and biotechnological tools for obtaining plants enriched in bioactive compounds Simon Miranda is a Biologist and Master in Biological Sciences of the University of Chile, whose main interests are within the field of plant molecular biology and nutrition.
