Dr. Alex Romero is a biochemist and holds a PhD in Science with a specialization in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Universidad Austral de Chile. His scientific work has focused on understanding the defense mechanisms of fish and how these responses are modulated by stress stimuli and pathogen infections. He currently leads the Laboratory of Immunology and Stress in Aquatic Organisms at the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences of Universidad Austral de Chile and serves as an Associate Researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center for Aquaculture Research (INCAR²). In recent years, his research has focused on the development and scientific validation, both in vitro and in vivo, of natural-origin additives as non-pharmacological alternatives to improve fish health and production performance. His work also involves the identification of novel therapeutic targets for disease treatment, as well as the study of immunomodulation and mucosal defense mechanisms in salmonids.
