Senior🎓
Top SchoolJose Herrero is an associate professor and experienced bioinformatician with a PhD in Genetics from Universitat de Barcelona and nine years of hands-on experience in NGS, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, genome assembly, and comparative genomics. He combines academic teaching roles at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Universitat Pompeu Fabra with active mentorship in the Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Master’s at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, bridging research and education. During his tenure at Germans Trias i Pujol he contributed to multidisciplinary clinical genomics projects and built reproducible workflows and HPC-enabled pipelines using Python, R and advanced Linux administration. He has authored 20+ peer-reviewed publications and frequently presents at national and international conferences, demonstrating leadership in both collaborative and project-leading roles. Comfortable with machine learning and AI integration into biological analyses, he also works on clinical text analysis—an indication of his interest in translating computational methods into clinical impact. Based in Barcelona, he remains engaged with the research community as an external collaborator at molevol-ub and member of RSGSpain and IRBio.
