Summary
Alex Ascensión is a biochemist and PhD researcher based in San Sebastián with eight years of experience at the intersection of molecular biology, epigenomics and computational biology. Trained in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (EHU) with an MSc in Bioinformatics (UAB) and currently complementing his profile with a Mathematics degree (UNED), he applies Python and R-driven computational methods, neural networks and mathematical approaches to single-cell genomics and histone mark analysis. As a predoctoral fellow at Biogipuzkoa/Biodonostia he has collaborated across computational biology and tissue engineering groups and contributes to EU-funded consortia for data-driven drug discovery in wound healing. Notably, he blends hands-on lab experience with more than two years of computational practice, giving him uncommon fluency translating biological questions into quantitative models.
