Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFranco Simonetti is a postdoctoral researcher with a decade of experience applying computational biology and statistical methods to systems medicine, large-scale omics, and precision genomics. Currently at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, he develops methods to integrate genetic ancestry and clinical data to reduce bias in polygenic models and advance equitable precision medicine in Argentina and beyond. His background includes postdoctoral work at the Max Planck Institute, a PhD focused on residue coevolution networks, and a Fulbright stint at NCBI where he contributed to mutation-impact tools—highlighting a strong track record of turning evolutionary protein insights into usable computational tools. He also explores protein language models to probe disordered proteins and biocondensates, linking cutting-edge machine learning with functional interpretation of mutations.
