Staff Profile

I work as a Research Associate at John Sayer's laboratory on Renal Medicine. I am applying computational modelling and bioinformatics to analyse data from biological samples.

I am a bionformatician with a background in physics and biophysics, passionate about extracting knowledge from otherwise unintelligible data. Within this personal context, I have worked during my PhD at Jesús Vázquez's proteomics laboratory at CNIC, developing the basis of statistical models applied to the identification, quantification and systems biology of proteomics experiments, and creating the software to put this into practice. I started working at Newcastle University in 2018, at Daniel Rico's laboratory on Computational Epigenomics. There, I developed models, such as Chromatinsight, to apply machine learning to the analysis of epigenomics datasets, namely how the mapping of different histone marks can elucidate the role and impact of different regions of the chromatin.

Now, at John Sayer's laboratory, I am working in several projects related with primary ciliopathies, and in particular in the analysis of single cell RNAseq data from patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
