Tomás Matus is a plant biologist and doctor in Agricultural Sciences (PUC, Chile), interested in the use of genomic and systems biology tools for the study of the regulation of plant development and metabolism networks. He has been a postdoc at the Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG, 2008-2013, 2015-2019), in the laboratory of José Luis Riechmann, gaining experience in omics technologies to understand the development of flowers in Arabidopsis.

He recently began a line of research in the biology of fruit crop systems, using the development of tomato and vine fruits as models to understand the morphogenesis, the growth and maturation of climacteric and non-climacteric fruits (Transcriptional Orchestration of Metabolism Research Group). He received a long-term EMBO postdoctoral scholarship (2010-2012) and has now just joined the Institute of Integrative Systems Biology I2SysBio (Universitat de València-CSIC) through a contract from the Ramón y Cajal program (2019) at the University of València.
