Biography
Dr. Alfredo J. Ibáñez is the Leader of the Max Planck - PUCP partner research group and Director of the core facility for omics research and applied biotechnology (ICOBA) at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP). His research interests, within the ICOBA, are the development of biological analysis using mass spectrometry and applied research in the field of biology (in particular metabolomics and proteomics). His focus in particular is on (i) biological processes associated with metabolic adaptation mechanisms toward stress, and (ii) the development of the analytical instrumentation for their study. Since his arrival to the ICOBA, he has also expanded his focus to include monitoring plant volatiles associated with their defense to pathogens, clinical analysis, as well as analytical instrumentation to monitor and to perform quality control of industrial processes (e.g., bioreactors for the production of alcohol, or post-harvest food processes)
