Gabriel Ferreras Garrucho
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioGabriel grew up in Seville, Spain, and earned a BA in Biochemistry and Biotechnology from the University of Seville, where he was introduced to plant molecular biology working on the interplay between flowering signalling and autophagy in Arabidopsis. He then moved to the United Kingdom to do a PhD in Plant Sciences in the University of Cambridge, in the group of Uta Paszkowski, working on the spatio-temporal regulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis signalling in rice, followed by a Postdoctoral Researcher position in the same group optimising single-nuclei RNA-sequencing for the mutualism between rice and mycorrhizal fungi. In the Brophy lab, Gabriel is excited to work on the discovery and validation of cell-type-specific enhancers in sorghum using a combination of single-nuclei multi-omics, machine learning methods and high-throughput screens in protoplasts and in planta.
