I have moved to a new position as leader of the 

Computational Synthetic Biology Group

Spanish National Research Council

Institute for Integrative Systems Biology (I2SYSBIO)

Valencia

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I formerly worked at the BioProcess Engineering Group (IIM-CSIC) developing tools for Biosystems Identification, Design and Control for Synthetic and Systems Biology applications

My research interests include:

> Systematic inference of design principles of biological networks (through optimization).

> Automated design of genetic circuits for Synthetic Biology.

> Effective detection of complex behaviour in biochemical networks exploiting their inherent structural properties. I am particularly interested in the emergence of bistability and oscillations in gene regulation and cell signaling.

> The effect of molecular noise in gene regulation, and how to incorporate molecular noise in the design of biocircuits.

Background:

After graduating in Chemical Engineering at Santiago de Compostela University I joined the Bioprocess Engineering Group at IIM-CSIC, where I developed my PhD thesis Modeling, dynamic analysis and control of biological networks defended on May 2010.

In 2010 I joined the Computational Systems Biology Group (Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering) at ETH-Zurich for a 3 year postdoc where i worked in the EU FP7 project IFNAction: A system view on the differential activities of human type I interferons.

Since 2013 I work at the BioProcess Engineering Group (IIM-CSIC),  in the projects MULTISCALES: Multi-scale inference, monitoring, optimization and control: from cells to bioreactors, and  SYNBIOFACTORY: Synthetic biology for bioproduction enhancement: Design, optimization, monitoring and control.
