      <p>Accomplished and energetic bioinformatics-trained biologist with a solid track of achievements in genomic and metagenomic research. Passionate and motivated, with an ample background in biological sciences, statistics, and scientific computing. Areas of expertise include next-generation sequencing analysis, genomics, microbiology, virus-host interactions, and molecular biology.</p>

<p>I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the Tecnologico del Valle de Oaxaca (Oaxaca, Mexico), where I studied the germination process of cacti; did you know that seeds can tell if they are under shade by the ratio of <a href="https://news.californialightworks.com/how-does-the-far-red-light-spectrum-affect-plants/">red:far-red</a> light they receive?</p>

<p>In 2008 I was selected as a <a href="https://eca.state.gov/fulbright">Fulbright Fellow</a> at the University of Arizona where I received a Master’s of Science degree studying the phylogenomics of T4-like viruses, we found that most of their <a href="https://sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1462-2920.2012.02704.x">genes are passed down vertically</a> just like macro-organisms!</p>

<p>I subsequently obtained a PhD degree from the University of Arizona in Molecular and Cellular Biology, where I studied genes and genomes of marine viruses; We uncovered the <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/nature13459">genome architecture</a> of viruses, annotated <a href="https://www.pnas.org/content/113/9/2436.short">novel structural proteins</a>, and described their <a href="https://science.sciencemag.org/content/348/6237/1261498.summary">distribution patterns</a>.</p>

<p>I spent a few years at the University of Southern California where I got to wear multiple hats (including my field work hat, see image);
My research still focused on understanding virus-host interactions, I actively think on novel methodological techniques to link
 viruses to hosts from the <a href="https://academic.oup.com/nargab/article/2/2/lqaa044/5861484">informatic</a> to wet-lab based methods,
  and the <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-019-0628-x">long-term consequences</a> of virus-host ecological interactions.</p>

<p> Currently, I work in biotech, where I get to look a SARS genomes and more recently human genomes, all what I say here are my opinions </p>

<p> Follow my new blog <a href="https://thednadiaries"> The DNA Diaries </a> where I talk about genes, genomes and genetics</p>
