I obtained my phD from the Universitat de
Barcelona in late 1988. I worked at the Department of Statistics
in the School of Biology, where
Dr. Jordi Ocaña was my advisor. We worked in the development of
mathematical and computer models in Population Genetics and Evolutionary
Ecology. After finishing my phD thesis, I went to the
Molecular Biology Computer Research Resource at the
Dana Farber Cancer Institute---
Harvard University (
Division of Biostatistics). I was a postdoctoral fellow with
Dr. Temple F. Smith. In late 1991, I moved to the BioMolecular Engineering Research
Center at Boston University,
when Temple F. Smith was named director. During these years,
I was involved in several projects in the field of sequence analysis:
gene identification, automatic knowledge extraction from biosequence
databases, protein sequence pattern analysis, and molecular
evolution. On Spring 1992, I moved to
Los Alamos National Laboratory , where I was a postdoctoral fellow
at the Theoretical Biology and
Biophysics Group with Dr. James W. Fickett. At Los Alamos I
worked essentially on genome analysis related problems: estimation of
genome's protein coding density, and characterization of large scale
genome structure. Since 1994 I am a researcher at the Institut Municipal d'Investigació
Mèdica, within the
Grup de Recerca en Informàtica
Biomèdica (GRIB). Since year 1999, I am also associated professor with the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. During the
period 1994-1999 I was associated with the Department of Statistics of
the Universitat de Barcelona.
Since year 2005 I am coordinating the Bioinformatics and Genomics
program of the Centre de Regualció Genòmica
in Barcelona.
