Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRicardo Flores is a Staff Scientist with nine years of experience at the intersection of computational genomics and systems biomedicine, now based at EMBL-EBI in Heidelberg. He builds integrative computational frameworks that translate high-dimensional omics and spatial single-cell data into interpretable biological features and disease convergence points. His work spans single-cell spatial analysis, network biology, and statistical integration of molecular and clinical data, bridging method development with translational questions. Trained summa cum laude through UNAM and a PhD from Heidelberg, he combines strong applied statistics with hands-on experience in large-scale drug-response and diabetes studies. Notably, his background includes early systems-biology internships that linked transcriptomics to drug sensitivity, reflecting a persistent focus on actionable biomarkers.
