Biography
 

My connection with the University of Valencia began with my studies in the Biotechnology Degree. During these years I discovered my interest in research, especially in the food and industrial sector. As a result, I started the Master's Degree in R&D in Biotechnology and Biomedicine (UV) to continue my training and enter the world of research. During this period of time I developed my Master's Final Project at the Institute of Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio), focused on the study of the redox regulation of metabolism in wine yeasts. Upon completion, I started my PhD studies at I2SysBio, specifically in the Industrial Yeast Biotechnology group, thanks to the initial award of a predoctoral contract (ACIF20) from the Generalitat Valenciana and the subsequent award of a predoctoral contract Atracció de Talents 2020 from the University of Valencia. The main objective of this doctoral thesis is to study the regulation of different redox proteins in wine yeasts, analysing what impact they have on the metabolism of these microorganisms in the different stages of their industrial use. This could lead to the selection and improvement of both oenological yeasts and their growth conditions, enabling their transfer to industry.

Biography
 

Marta Moreno Torres holds a Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), with a research stay at Technische Universität München (TUM) in Munich, Germany. Marta pursued a Master's degree in Biomedical Biotechnology at UPV, with research stays at prestigious institutions such as the Institute of Cellular and Molecular Biology of Plants (IBMCP, UPV-CSIC) and the National University of Ireland (NUIG) in Galway, Ireland.

Marta embarked on an international Ph.D. program at the Université de Fribourg (UniFr) in Fribourg, Switzerland. Afterwards, she obtained a highly competitive 2-year postdoctoral fellowship from the Danish Diabetes Academy. She relocated to Syddansk Universitet (SDU) in Odense, Denmark.

Subsequently, Marta returned to Spain to join the Health Research Institute Hospital La Fe (IISLAFE) in Valencia. There, she assumed a pivotal role with a Juan de la Cierva Incorporación fellowship, specializing on liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and data analysis from human samples within a hospital environment. Her work aimed to translate her research findings into practical clinical applications within the field of hepatology.

Presently, she holds the prestigious Ramón y Cajal fellowship at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Valencia (UV), Spain. Her research is based on a wide set of techniques, including biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, and cutting-edge mass spectrometry 'omics' technologies.

Research line: Marta's current research focus is centered on the integration of bioanalytical information from multiple platforms, encompassing metabolomics, lipidomics, and miRNA, with clinical data. Leveraging innovative chemometric and machine learning approaches, she endeavors to identify effective biomarkers and phenotypes for personalized therapy surveillance, diagnosis, and prognosis evaluation, particularly in areas such as hepatology and liver transplantation.

Teaching and mentoring: She has supervised four bachelor's and four master's theses and has served as a lecturer and teaching assistant at various esteemed national and international universities. Marta Moreno Torres is accredited as a Ph.D. Lecturer by ANECA and she has actively participated in numerous educational innovation courses in Denmark and Spain, demonstrating her commitment to enhancing the quality of university instruction.
