Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGabriel Moreno-hagelsieb is a Professor and computational biologist with 15+ years of experience applying comparative genomics and systems biology to uncover functional associations and network evolution, especially in prokaryotes. Trained as a molecular biologist and protein engineer (PhD, UNAM), he blends wet-lab experience in enzymology and DNA techniques with deep bioinformatics expertise in transporter proteins, pangenomes, and metagenomic analyses. He has led microbial computational genomics programs at Wilfrid Laurier University and UNAM, developing methods for inferring functional relationships among gene products. Gabriel is increasingly engaged in microbial diversity pipelines—moving beyond amplicon studies to integrative metagenomic workflows—and curates domain-specific resources such as transporter-focused analyses. Known for bridging experimental and computational worlds, he brings a pragmatic focus on functional modules and evolutionary context to large-scale microbial datasets.
