Biografia
Daniel Ballesteros és biòleg, doctor per la Universitat de València des del 2008. Especialitat en botànica, fisiologia vegetal, criobiologia i biologia de la conservació, és professor ajudant doctor a la Universitat de València des del 2021. Durant la seva etapa postdoctoral (2009-2021), ha desenvolupat la seva carrera en diversos centres internacionals líders de la conservació de germoplasma vegetal, com els Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Regne Unit amb el Prof. Hugh Pritchard, el National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation a Fort Collins, EUA, amb la Dra Christina Walters, la Universitat KwaZulu Natal a Sud-àfrica amb els professors Patricia Berjak i Normal Pammenter, i el Center for Research and Conservation of Wildlife a Cincinati, EUA, amb la Dra Valerie Pence. El seu treball de recerca té com a objectiu revelar les bases fonamentals de la tolerància a l'estrès exercit per la dessecació i les baixes temperatures en llavors de diferent fisiologia i altres propàguls de plantes (espores, pòl·len), particularment en relació amb la seva conservació a llarg termini (incloent la crio-preservació). A més està interessat en la variació de la longevitat en propàguls de plantes, des d'espores de falgueres com a model unicel·lular fins a sistemes més complexos. Aquests estudis sovint requereixen l'ús d'aproximacions estructurals i biofísiques. Aquesta aproximació multidisciplinària i única en biologia de llavors ha esdevingut un referent mundial.
