Dr. Antonella Locascio is a molecular biologist and researcher at Universidad Cardenal Herrera CEU, with a PhD in Plant Biotechnology from the University of Padova (Italy). Her research career has developed across Italy and Spain in academic, translational, and applied research settings, building a multidisciplinary profile at the interface of molecular biology, cell biology, gene regulation, and stress-response mechanisms. Her scientific work spans plant, microbial, and human-related systems, with particular expertise in transcriptomics, genomics, proteomics, microscopy, and comparative RNA-seq analysis. She has contributed to studies published in leading international journals, including Nature Communications, PNAS, Current Biology, PLoS Genetics, Plant Physiology, and Microbial Biotechnology, reflecting a sustained research trajectory in gene regulation, signaling pathways, cellular responses, and biotechnology.Her current research is centered on protective pathways against glycation-induced cellular damage, with interest in translational questions related to health, aging, and cellular resilience.
