Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolTomás Zarzar is an Assistant Professor and PhD in Biological Anthropology and Bioethics who blends multi-omics, exposome data, and advanced big-data modeling to study sex- and gender-specific mechanisms in complex human diseases. With eight years of research experience spanning Chile and the US, he has led work on how environmental exposures and metabolites differentially affect blood biomarkers and Alzheimer’s progression between sexes. His approach integrates genome, metabolome and environmental exposure data to reveal interacting biological systems rather than isolated markers. Currently based at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, he directs projects on multi-omics integration and the metabolomic impacts of welding fumes and pesticides. Notably, his background in both anthropology and bioethics informs a translational perspective that considers social and ethical dimensions alongside molecular findings.
