About me [ORCID] [GitHub] [CV] [Google Scholar]
Hello! Welcome to my page. I'm Renato La Torre, a Bioinformatician in the Laboratory of Genomics and Bioinformatics for Biodiversity at San Marcos University. I am passionate in characterizing biodiversity through space and time, and understanding the processes behind the shaping of their genomes. I have expertise in the application of novel molecular techniques such as environmental and ancient DNA. By looking into species' past, I aim to contribute to their conservation in the future. Feel free to explore my page to learn more about my work. Please, do not hesitate to reach out to me đŸ˜€
