In addition, he holds a degree in agricultural engineering from the National University of San Martín, Tarapoto. He has research residencies at New Hampshire University, United States, and at Warwick University, United Kingdom. Professor of Genetics and Plant Breeding in the Engineering and Agricultural Sciences Faculty at Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza National University of Amazonas, Peru. Currently, he is the Executive Director of the Institute for Research, Innovation and Development for the Agricultural and Agroindustrial Sector (IIDAA). Your research focuses on biochemistry, plant physiology, and molecular genetics of plants, working on gene editing, functional genomics, utility genes, plant variety development, and plant-mycorrhizal interaction. Using tools such as recombinant DNA, hybridization and screening of plants, mutant analysis, genetic transformation, protein analysis by western blot, localization and trafficking of proteins using confocal microscopy, gene expression analysis, heterologous protein expression, and biochemical assays.
