Autorentext

Luis María Vaschetto obtained his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Argentina). He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) and a Research Associate at the South Dakota State University (SDSU). Dr. Vaschetto has first-authored over ten academic articles in peer-reviewed, high-impact journals. Currently, he is a Consultant for several international companies and a Research Scholar at the Ronin Institute (RIIS 2.0). He also serves as Series Editor for the renowned Book Series Epigenetics and Human Health (EHH), published by Springer Nature (Switzerland). Dr. Vaschetto has already edited and authored eleven international books, including four for the EHH series and three for Methods in Molecular Biology (MiMB, Springer Nature, USA). His research mainly focuses on understanding gene regulation mechanisms involved in plant and animal development, as well as their effects on human health and diseases.
