| Description |
Full Professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, Spain). Since 1996, he has authored >270 scientific articles peer-reviewed and indexed in JCR (ISI Web of Science). These articles include high impact journals such as Science, Nature Genetics, Nature, Genome Research, PNAS, PLoS Medicine, JAMA, Lancet, etc; mostly related to the study of genomic variation and other 'omic' sciences, and many of them in collaboration with internationally renowned researchers. In addition, he has contributed >50 chapters in international books.
His studies have focused on genetic susceptibility to complex and common diseases (breast cancer, schizophrenia, autism, etc.), rare diseases (Wilson, congenital ichthyosis, mitochondrial diseases, etc.), bioinformatics / biostatistics (HapMap, 1000 Genomes) , epidemiology, etc), molecular anthropology / archeogenetics, forensic genetics (population sub-structure, statistical interpretation of the medical-legal test, etc.).
He leads his consolidated group of research (GenPoB, Genetics of Populations in Biomedicine) of the Health Research Institute (IDIS - Santiago de Compostela), integrated in the group of Genetics and Systems Biology. He collaborates with the National Genotyping Center and the Galician Foundation of Genomic Medicine.
He is heavily involved in a variety of genomic and other '-omic' sciences (e.j. transcriptomics, epigenomics), in complex pediatric diseases, infectious disease and vacunomics. He also works closely with GENVIP-IDIS on projects on vaccines, meningococcal disease, rotavirus, RSV, and other infectious diseases. The main focus of this research trajectory has been placed increasingly prominent in personalized medicine.
He has obtained funding through more than 55 competitive projects (regional, national and international level).
