Miguel obtained his PhD in Population Genetics at the University of Barcelona. Currently, he studies mutational patterns that result from DNA repair deficiencies in cancer cells, to elucidate mechanisms of genomic instability. Also, he performs the computational analysis of CRISPR genetic screens carried out at GenomeDataLab, and is interested in developing methods to quantify changes of gene essentiality in time and across genetic backgrounds.
Sanket received his PhD from ACTREC, Tata Memorial Centre, India, specializing in cancer genomics. His research centered on pathogen-tumor relationships, developing computational methods for studying cancer-associated pathogens. Presently at GenomeDataLab, he investigates links between germline and somatic mutations, utilizing genomic markers for cancer risk prediction. Sanket strives to advance personalized medicine, focusing on cancer risk assessment and prediction using state-of-the-art genomic technologies and computational approaches.

computational biology - bioinformatics - cancer genomics
will add more details later 😀
Marcos obtained his PhD in Biomedicine at the University of Barcelona, where he studied the regulation of alternative splicing throughout neurodevelopment. His interests have brought him to our lab to investigate how cancer driver genes can shape the transcriptome of tumor cells. Passionate about both climbing and cooking, if he's not in the lab, you can likely find him in the kitchen.

Adrijan obtained his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Ljubljana. At the Jožef Stefan Institute, he investigated the interaction between secreted phospholipases A2 and neuronal mitochondria. In 2024, he joined GenomeDataLab to explore how deficiencies in DNA damage response cause structural variants and indels. He’s also venturing into epigenomics. In his free time, his Croatian heritage gives him a love for football, the sun, the sea, and other life pleasures, while his Slovenian side enjoys road cycling.
Guille is a geneticist and bioinformatician from Barcelona. His research is focused on the study of RNA quality control pathways through statistical and computational techniques. Guille aims to quantify the variability in efficiency of these pathways between individuals and tissues and associate it with genetic diseases and cancer. During his free time he composes music, so email him if you want to make a collab ;)
“Science can never solve one problem without raising ten more problems.” ― George Bernard Shaw
Alejandro studied Mechanical Engineering in Zaragoza. After a year working in a company he started a MSc in Biomedical Engineering focusing on performing an algorithm which replicates cancer cells migration through the tissue. In the lab, Alejandro manages the IT resources and automates the processing of WGS cancer datasets. In his free time he likes to practice combat sports, hang out with friends or travel.
