The Team
Elisabetta Mereu
Group Leader
Elisabetta earned a MSc in mathematics and a PhD in genetics at the University of Cagliari (Italy). Since 2016, she works in the analysis of single-cell genomics data. She is convinced that the integration of math and biology is crucial to understand human diseases.
Aina Rill
PhD Student
Aina obtained a MSc in Bioinformatics and BSc in Human Biology at UPF (Barcelona). She is motivated to work on clinical studies in autoimmunity and other immune-mediated disorders.
Marta Casado
PhD Student
Marta obtained a MSc in bioinformatics at the University of Glaskow (UK) after her studies in genetics (AUB, Barcelona). She is curious to learn how cellular dynamics drive complex biological processes.
Mario Acera
PhD student
Mario has a MSc in Interactive Intelligent Systems and a BSc in Industrial Engineering. He's interested in applying deep learning in Spatial Transcriptomics data.
Anton Popov
PhD student
Anton studied applied mathematics at the National Technical University of Ukraine. He has experience in the analysis of images. He's enrolled in the Industrial PhD program of Catalunya with the aim to implement new machine learning models in clinical applications.
Ane Martinez
PhD student
Ane studied biochemistry at the University of Navarra (Pamplona, Spain), where she also obtained a MSc in Computational Methods in Science. During her master, she worked in a collaborative project with the Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA), in order to group Lung Cancer patients according to their gene expression profiles. She is now motivated to analyze single-cell data to to understand the pathological mechanisms underlying prostate cancers.
