Josefina Poupin is a Biologist and an Associate Professor at Adolfo Ibañez University. In a broadest sense her work focuses on studying the molecular and physiological responses of different organisms to the environment. One of her main research areas is the study of the interaction between plants and beneficial microorganisms, analyzing the molecular networks that explain the beneficial effects (increased growth rate and abiotic stress tolerance), the ecological relations in these interactions, and how this knowledge can be translated to a more sustainable agriculture. She is also involved in research about the molecular responses of plants, arthropods and marine organisms to abiotic stresses related with global change, such as temperature increases and ocean acidification. She enjoy working on interdisciplinary teams.
