Silvia Restrepo Restrepo (August 3 1970, Bogota, Colombia) is a Colombian biologist, molecular biologist, and phytopathologist recognised for her investigations into different plant diseases, particularly in the Solanaceae Family. She also leads research about food safety and sustainable agriculture. In 2023, she was appointed as the first woman president of The Boyce Thompson Institute associated with Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. She is the former vice president of research and creation at Universidad de Los Andes.

She has been awarded with different distinctions, among which stand out the Ordre national du Mérite granted by the French Government in 2018, and the Jakob Eriksson Prize 2023 for her pioneering international work in mycology and plant pathology in cassava and potato.[1] She has published more than 231 research articles in different scientific journals. Nowadays, she is recognised as an international authority in phytopathology.

Early stages and educational background

edit

Silvia was born in Bogota in 1970, and was raised in a nuclear family with two older siblings. Deeply influenced by his father, she pursued an academic lifestyle since her early stages. She attended to Lycée français Louis Pasteur (Colombia) for her primary and secondary school education. Afterwards, she pursued a biology bachelor's degree at Universidad de Los Andes. Nevertheless, her later research was more oriented to the microbiological field.

In 1972, she moved to Paris, France to start her master's degree in molecular and cellular biology at Université Pierre et Marie Curie. Initially captivated by human genetics, she moved to molecular biology in plants, motivated by her master's professor. After obtaining her master's degree in 1993, she completed advanced studies in plant pathology. During that time, she conducted a research project on Phaseolus vulgaris L. disease caused by Colletotrichum fungi, based on the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) in Cali, Colombia.

During her PhD in the science of life biology, diversity and adaptation of plants at Université Pierre et Marie Curie, she studied a bacterial disease caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis in Manihot esculenta. The results of her investigation were published in more than 10 research articles indexed in different scientific journals [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. She graduated on July 14, 1999.

Research and professional career

edit

She moved to William Earl Fry Laboratory at Cornell University to conduct postdoctoral research in Ithaca, New York between 2000 and 2004. Her research was mainly focused on Phytophthora infestans. This oomycete is responsible for the late blight or potato blight in tomatoes and potatoes. This research began a long career path dedicated to studying this pathogen. During the same period, she met her husband and moved back to Colombia after her son's birth.

Her research has been relevant in developing cassava varieties resistant to harmful pathogens. In terms of her scientific output, she has authored or co-authored numerous scientific publications, with her research cited extensively in journals across the fields of biology, plant pathology, and environmental sciences. According to available data, her work is frequently recognised and cited, making her a well-established figure in her field.​

Since 2005, she worked as an assistant and then as an associate professor at Universidad de Los Andes. From 2010 until 2023, she was promoted to full professor at the same institution. She has been committed to education and mentoring. In that institution, she designed a minor in bioinformatics and a graduate program in computational biology.[1] While at Universidad de Los Andes, she supervised 11 PhD researchers and more than 60 master's degree students. In 2024, she became the first woman president of The Boyce Thompson Institute.
