I received my PhD in Biotechnology from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. My first job after obtaining my PhD was at the Center for Research in Nitrogen Fixation, called now the Center for Genomic Sciences of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. I spent two years as a visiting scholar at the USDA/ARS and Cornell University, and then came to Laurier as an associate professor in 2004.
The focus of the Lab of Computational consequences is on the study, prediction, and evolution of genetic functional networks. The main data used is the sequence databases containing complete and draft genomes, as well as metagenomes (DNA sequences from random samples of a given environment). One of our main goals is the prediction and understanding of the functions of the vast amount of uncharacterized genes.
