Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBruno Moreira is a tenured group leader in Computational and Structural Biology at CSIC with over a decade of experience integrating plant genomics, macromolecular modeling, and transcriptional regulatory network discovery. He has led the Ensembl Plants project at EMBL-EBI and builds genome-scale phylogenetic marker designs for breeding and molecular diagnostics, bridging foundational research with applied genetics. His background uniquely combines a PhD in Biochemistry, formal training in computer engineering, and hands-on postdoctoral work in protein design, enabling computationally driven structural insights. A seasoned educator, he teaches internationally (CIHEAM, UNAM, Universidad de Zaragoza) while maintaining an active lab blog and code presence for reproducible bioinformatics. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex comparative genomics into practical tools for plant breeding and diagnostics, often leveraging evolutionary signals to inform marker design.
