Dr. Marina Lopez-Pozo | Climate change mitigation | Research Excellence Award

Postdoctoral Researcher | University of Colorado Boulder | United States

Dr. Marina López-Pozo is a plant ecophysiologist specializing in photosynthesis, plant stress biology, and functional plant responses to extreme environments. Her research focuses on photoprotection mechanisms, desiccation and freezing tolerance, carotenoid dynamics, and the ecological and evolutionary performance of terrestrial and aquatic plants, with emerging emphasis on Lemnaceae as sustainable crops for CO₂ sequestration and nutritional innovation. She holds a research appointment at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she contributes to interdisciplinary plant biology and climate-related research initiatives. Dr. López-Pozo has played a key role in advancing understanding of xanthophyll cycles, stress resilience in Antarctic and resurrection plants, and the optimization of duckweed systems for food and bioresource applications. Her work has generated high-impact publications influencing plant physiology, environmental adaptation research, and sustainable agriculture strategies. Her impact vision centers on translating plant stress-tolerance mechanisms into scalable solutions for climate resilience, food security, and environmentally responsible bio-innovation.

Nuria Pedrol | Sustainable Weed Management | Research Excellence Award

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nuria Pedrol | Sustainable Weed Management | Research Excellence Award

Associate Professor | University of Vigo | Spain

Dr. Nuria Pedrol is a distinguished researcher in Plant Ecophysiology, Allelopathy, Weed Control, and Organic Farming, with a strong focus on plant interactions, stress physiology, and sustainable weed management. Her research primarily explores the biochemical and ecological roles of allelochemicals in plant–plant interactions, natural bioherbicide development, and plant responses to abiotic stress, alongside emerging interests in green manure-based weed suppression and soil restoration. She has served as a researcher and faculty member at the University of Vigo, contributing to leading projects on environmental sustainability and crop protection. She has co-authored notable scientific books and handbook chapters, and her transcriptomic studies in Arabidopsis have deepened understanding of plant detoxification mechanisms. With high-impact publications, refined biochemical methodologies, and sustainable agriculture innovations, her work promotes low-chemical-input farming and improved soil health. Guided by a vision of climate-adaptive and eco-friendly agriculture, she aims to advance natural-product herbicides and ecological crop management for global food security and environmental conservation.
