Gea Guerriero is a senior research and technology associate at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology—LIST. She completed her Ph.D. in Applied Biology at the University of Naples Federico II (Italy) and her HDR at the University of Limoges (France). Her research activities are centered on the valorization of plants as sources of renewable raw material and plant cells as phytofactories for the production of added-value specialized metabolites. She is interested in the study of multi-purpose crops using a combination of omics and the exploitation of the incredible richness and diversity of plant secondary metabolism via biotechnological approaches.
