Alejandro Matía -Alex for short-, conducted his PhD research at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), employing multi-omic technologies such as CRISPR genetic screens to detect new host factors in Poxvirus. His interest in Bioinformatics led to the creation of MaGplotR, a tool for the analysis of multiple genetic screens. Alex was a visiting scientist at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub (San Francisco) where he conducted single cell transcriptomics experiments with Poxvirus. Currently, Alex leverages his omics expertise to unravel the mechanisms of opioid receptor physiology.
