Senior🎓
Top SchoolBernabe Bustos is a research-focused geneticist and computational biologist with 11 years of experience investigating the genetic basis of neurodegenerative disease, now serving as Research Assistant Professor of Neurology at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. He combines a PhD in Molecular Biosciences with deep expertise in bioinformatics, large-scale genomics (WGS/WES, transcriptomics, proteomics) and machine learning-driven predictive modeling to uncover novel risk factors for Parkinson’s and related disorders. A longtime member of the Krainc lab, his work spans GWAS, cohort-scale database development and translational analyses that bridge discovery to clinical insight. He has a track record of collaborative international work—evident from roles with GP2 and cross-institutional projects—and a background in metabolic-disease genetics that informs his systems-level view of neurodegeneration.
