Senior🎓
Top SchoolRodrigo Pracana is a senior bioinformatician with 11 years of experience specializing in 3D genomics, chromatin–gene expression interactions, and RNA biology. He has combined postdoctoral research on chromosome evolution and social chromosome population genomics with senior roles at Human Technopole and Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, translating academic questions into computational pipelines and collaborative consortium science. Rodrigo’s background in evolutionary genetics (PhD, QMUL) and hands-on genomics work gives him a rare blend of population-genetics perspective and functional genomics expertise. He frequently bridges lab and computation, working closely with experimental groups and consortia such as FANTOM6 to turn complex multi-omic datasets into biological insight. Based in Genoa, he brings a proven track record of interdisciplinary projects across top UK and Italian institutions and a curiosity for applying evolutionary thinking to regulatory genomics.
