Selene L. Fernández Valverde is Principal Investigator of the Functional and Evolutionary Genomics of Regulatory RNA group at the National Laboratory of Genomics for Biodiversity in Mexico (Langebio-cinvestav). Her research focuses on genomics and bioinformatics. Her core academic interest is contributing to the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the wide phenotypical diversity present in the animal and plant kingdom. She is particularly interested in the role of non-coding RNAs in the evolution of regulatory landscapes within and between species.
I am a Bioinformatics Training and Outreach Coordinator for H3ABIONET- a Pan-African based program interested in studying genetic diseases in Africa. I mainly focus on training aspects of the project such as workshops, face to face and online Training and Education as well as Career Development, and I also work on the team’s outreach.
Alejandro is a Microbiologist with an MSc in Biological Sciences from the Universidad de los Andes and a PhD in Computational and Systems Biology from Washington University in San Luis, MO, United States. His research interests include the application of computational biology to the development of tools for analysis of data derived from genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic and metagenomic data for the characterisation of microbial communities and their interactions with the environment, including communities associated with humans and their health consequences. He leads the Master’s in Computational Biology at UniAndes, and co-leads CABANA’s eLearning activities.
