A little bit about me...




1993

My name is Quim, and I am from Terrassa (Barcelona). I love dogs, field hockey, nature and games. Since I was very young I was pationate about biology and computers, and now I work in a combination of both.

2011

I studied a Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. The studies were diverse, ranging from understanding molecular biology to designing bioreactors.

I started my first professional experiences in microbiology labs. For instance, at CReSA, I collaborated in the development of a vaccine against the African swine Fever.

Soon, though, I discovered Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, and I started to learn more about dry labs.

2015

I studied a Master's degree in Bioinformatics at Universitat Pompeu Fabra.

I learned to code in Python, R and Perl, and also machine learning, web (Flask, PHP, JavaScript) and database (MySQL) development. Everything was applied to the fields of Genomics, Proteomics, Systems Biology and Pharmacoinformatics.

I made my master thesis at the Structural Bioinformatics Lab of Universitat Pompeu Fabra, supervised by Baldo Oliva.

I made an Erasmus internship at Helmholtz Zentrum in Munich, supervised by Monica Campillos.

2017

I started my PhD thesis in the Structural Bioinformatics Lab, supervised by Baldo Oliva and Narcis Fernandez-Fuentes.

My thesis was about Network Medicine, a discipline that organizes molecular interactions in networks, and uses our knowledge about networks to understand better diseases and improve medicine.

2021

I started a postdoc at Barabasi Lab. Here, I make Network Medicine research about the analysis of biological networks (such as protein-protein interaction networks) and other types of multi-omics data.
