Carlos Rodríguez-Caso, PhD
Associate Professor (Profesor Titular de Universidad)
ABOUT ME:
With a biology background my research interest is about the principles of organisation behind complex (biological) systems. For that, my scientific career spams a multidisciplinar trajectory with contributions in the field of systems biology, synthetic biology and complexity. From a systems biology view I have worked in cancer, tissue homeostasis, evolution, genetics, metabolism and artificial life with contributions in the field of physics using complex networks theory for the study of complex systems. In the last years, from a synthetic biology approach, with an engineering perspective, I have combined both theory and experiments to study the principles of design of genetic circuits and cell computation.
