Lisset Herrera-Isidron has been a Professor and Researcher at the National Polytechnic Institute, Mexico, (UPIIG IPN) since 2008, has a PhD in Plant Biotechnology from the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (Cinvestav Irapuato, 2005) and a BSc. in Biochemical Science from the University of Havana (1993). Work experience from 2008 to date: the organogenesis of plants with the aim of mass micropropagation; gene regulatory network in potatoes; the in vitro conservation of threatened plant species of endemic cacti and agaves; and the design and construction of temporary immersion plant bioreactors. Additional experience includes the biological and molecular characterization of the Citrus Tristeza virus and other plant viruses (Cinvestav, Bioplant Center of Ciego de Avila University and CIGB, 1993-2005). Awards: Agrobio Award for Best Doctoral Thesis (2005, Mexico), National Award of Cuban Science Academy in Plant Biotechnology Section (1999, Cuba), and IFS Grants awards (Swiss, 1997). Current and previous research interests include gene expression analysis and molecular modeling of induction and development of potato microtubers, production in bioreactors of plant bioactive compounds with positive health effects, and the phytochemical characterization of plant extracts used in traditional medicine.
