My scientific interests revolve around functional genomics, systems biology and the development of algorithms and software for the analysis of high-throughput data (mainly, but not restricted to, Next Generation Sequencing) and its application to the relationship between genotype and phenotype, mainly oriented to personalized and precision medicine. I am especially interested in the study of disease mechanisms and drug action mechanisms, drug repositioning and the definition of mechanism-based ...

I completed my BSc in Biology and MSc in Cell Biology by the University of Valencia. During my last undergrad year I participated in synthetic biology’s iGEM competition where I dove in the use of models in Biology, which pushed me to pursue a PhD in the Department of Applied Mathematics in the Technical University of Valencia.

My research on Metabolic Engineering of hydrogen in cyanobacteria led me to be visiting researcher at Uppsala University, Denmark Technical University and EMBL Heidelberg. ...

Jesús Picó is Full Professor of Automatic Control at The Department of Systems Engineering and Control of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). In 2013 he created the Laboratory of Synthetic Biology and Biosystems Control (SB2CLab) of the Institute of Automation and Industrial Informatics (ai2) at the UPV, the first multidisciplinary lab in Spain integrating systems and control engineers, bioinformatics and biotechnologists. His research interests are in the application of systems ...

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Julio Banga. My research is focused on computational systems biology with particular attention to the mathematical modelling of biosystems and bioprocesses. Some of the topics we address are:

• Parameter estimation
• Model identifiability
• Global sensitivity analysis
• Optimal experimental design
• Dynamic optimization
• Robust control of diffusion-reaction systems
