Gerardo Alejo-Jacuinde, Ph.D.
Research Assistant Professor in Functional Genomics, Institute of Genomics for Crop Abiotic Stress Tolerance
Research
Dr. Alejo-Jacuinde's research program focuses on molecular and biochemical mechanisms underlying novel plant adaptations to extreme environments that might be key in generation of crops with enhanced stress resilience. One of his primary goals at Texas Tech is to characterize the molecular responses to abiotic stress using a multi-omics approach.
Background
Prior to joining the faculty, Alejo-Jacuinde served as a laboratory assistant at Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del IPN (CINVESTAV) in Irapuato, Mexico. He received his bachelor’s degree in biochemical engineering from the Instituto Tecnológico de Celaya (Mexico). He earned his master’s degree in plant biotechnology and his doctorate in plant biotechnology both from CINVESTAV in Langebio, Mexico.
