About

Martha G. Lopez-Guerrero, Ph.D. is a highly educated and experienced scientist with a background in Genomics. She received her Ph.D. in Center for Genomic Sciences from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in 2013. During her graduate studies, she focused on understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction of Rhizobium with corn and common bean. After completing her Ph.D., Dr. Lopez-Guerrero pursued a postdoctoral position at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she further honed her skills in genomics and gained experience in Bioinformatics, Biochemistry, Plant sciences and, Agriculture. In addition to her research experience, Dr. Lopez-Guerrero has also presented her work at national and international conferences and has published several articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. With her strong background in genomics and extensive research experience, Dr. Lopez-Guerrero is a valuable asset to any scientific team. She is committed to making a positive impact in the field of Plant-Sciences and plant-bacteria interactions and is continuously seeking new ways to contribute to the advancement of this important areas of research.
