Dr. Claudio Villota Arcos | Skin Aging | Research Excellence Award

Investigador | Universidad Bernardo O'Higgins | Chile 

Dr. Claudio Villota Arcos is a researcher specializing in cellular and molecular biology, with a strong interdisciplinary focus on cancer biology, mitochondrial genetics, virology, and nutrition-related molecular mechanisms. His research centers on the role of mitochondrial non-coding RNAs in cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic targeting, alongside emerging interests in viral oncogenesis, metabolic regulation, and inflammation-linked diseases. Dr. Villota Arcos serves as an academic researcher at the School of Nutrition and Dietetics, Universidad Bernardo O’Higgins, where he integrates molecular biology with translational health research. His key contributions include pioneering discoveries on antisense mitochondrial non-coding RNAs as selective vulnerabilities in cancer cells, advancing novel molecular targets for cancer therapy, and influencing diagnostic and therapeutic research strategies. His impact vision emphasizes translating fundamental mitochondrial biology into clinically relevant innovations, strengthening precision oncology approaches, and bridging molecular science with public health and nutritional interventions for global disease prevention.
