Mission statement

Research in the Evolutionary Genomics Group led by M. Mar Albà, focuses on the use of comparative genomics and transcriptomics to gain an understanding on the evolution of new genes and non-canonical ORFs. This work is mainly supported by an ERC Advanced Grant (NovoGenePop). We are also investigating the generation of neoantigens in cancer and developing machine learning methods to predict the response to treatment, with support from Institute Carlos III and the BBVA Foundation. The group has a strong computational focus but also an experimental side.
