Dr. Iranzo joins the new Computational/Systems Biology and Genomics program at CBGP (UPM-INIA). Dr. Iranzo completed a five-year postdoctoral fellowship at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) of the National Institute of Health (NIH, United States). His work combines comparative genomics tools and mathematical modeling to study the evolution of viruses and microbes. Dr. Iranzo has a transdisciplinary background with degrees in Biology, Biochemistry, and Physics. For the last 11 years, his research has focused on understanding the major evolutionary and ecological processes that occur in microbial populations from a systems perspective, combining empirical data with tools from statistical mechanics, game theory, and network science.
