About

F.J. Corpas' research focuses on the metabolism of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) under physiological and environmental stress conditions, with a particular interest in their implications for fruit ripening and the nitro-oxidative metabolism of plant peroxisomes. He was recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher (HCR) 2022 for exceptional research performance, demonstrated by the production of multiple highly cited papers that rank in the top 1% in their field and year in Cross-Field. Additionally, he was awarded the Biology and Biochemistry Leader Award for 2025, ranking #7 in Spain and #1083 globally.
