Sergio is from Mexico City and joined the lab as a postdoctoral scholar in 2018. He has an interdisciplinary background, he got his bachelor degree in Physics, made two masters, one in Computer Sciences and another in Nonlinear Dynamics, and he made his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences. His goal is to contribute to the understanding of complex diseases from a mathematical modeling perspective.
His research interests in general, involve the application of mathematical methods and network theory to biological complex systems, to understand both in dynamics and structure of them, specifically for modeling human diseases. During his PhD, his research was focused on structural aspects of Gene Regulation Networks, particularly, he used Systems Biology approaches to address the relationship between network structural modules and biological functions on Breast Cancer.
Currently, he is working on developing a mathematical theory based on ecological networks, that helps to understand the structural and dynamic aspects of the coevolutionary system composed of bacteriophages viruses, and bacteria/archaea that use the CRISPR immune system.
Sergio has been a lecturer at UNAM Mexico and worked as a software developer. He likes movies, documentaries, and series, and also he is enthusiastic about rock music.
