Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Ponte is a postdoctoral researcher with a decade of experience applying computational genetics, statistical modeling, and machine learning to understand mutational processes in eukaryotic genomes. Trained in bioinformatics and biotechnology across institutions in Barcelona, Stanford, and McGill, he has led projects on local hypermutation, epigenetic determinants of skin cancer mutagenesis, and lncRNA subcellular localization—building both analytic pipelines and a web database to make results accessible. Currently at Human Technopole after a postdoc at the University of Washington, he blends wet‑lab insight from internships with deep computational skills to translate large genomic datasets into mechanistic hypotheses. Ambitious about advancing bioinformatics as a frontier in life sciences, he is gearing toward a research career that bridges population and somatic mutation studies to improve societal understanding of genome dynamics.
