Senior🎓
Top SchoolJuan Caballero is a bioinformatics scientist with 13 years of experience modernizing data and application environments for biological research, currently advancing computational immunobiology at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics. He has led data and applications teams as Chief Science Officer at Databiology, building petabyte-scale data stores and CI-driven app onboarding, and later developed large-scale metagenome long-read assembly pipelines and a 3-billion-protein ProteinDB at EMBL. His background spans academia and industry—from postdoctoral systems biology work and novel gene discovery at ISB to teaching and research as an associate professor—blending deep computational biology expertise with product-focused engineering. Based in Guanajuato, Mexico, he holds doctoral training in biochemistry and plant biotechnology and is comfortable bridging wet-lab questions with scalable software solutions. A pragmatic problem solver, he combines hands-on pipeline development, data platform strategy, and experience with massive biological datasets to accelerate reproducible research.
