To start the Academic Activities of LIIGH-UNAM an International Colloquium “A VIEW TO THE FUTURE OF HUMAN GENOME RESEARCH” took place on April 6th – 9th 2015. In the Opening Symposium of the International Laboratory for Human Genome Research participated members of the International Advisory Board and Senior and Junior Faculty of the Laboratory. During...

Xavier Soberón leads Mexico’s National Institute of Genomic Medicine. Originally a chemist, he has been interested in the chemical synthesis of DNA and its applications, but has recently focused on the genetic make-up of Latino and Mexican populations and the genomics of parasites and the microbiomes of respiratory disease. He has served as director of...
Michael Schatz’s laboratory develops novel computational methodologies and algorithms to aid in the interpretation of large scale sequencing projects. He is interested in the structure and function of genomes, as well as the technology necessary to store and analyze them. Prof Schatz has received the Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship, an NSF Early Career Award and has been named a Young...
Elaine Mardis is interested in cancer and the genomics and transcriptomics associated with its development. Her expertise includes the analysis of data from next generation sequencing technologies and the bridging between basic research and clinical practice. She has received the Scripps Translational Research Award and her work on cancer genomics has been featured as one of...
James Lupski studies de novo rearrangements in the human genome and their role in complex and Mendelian human diseases. His laboratory uses next generation sequencing approaches and other methodologies to uncover mechanisms by which these rearrangements occur, as well as the particular phenotypes they lead to. He has been the recipient of various awards, among them the Bloemendal...
Evan Eichler studies genome evolution and mechanisms of recent gene duplication in the human genome, as well as their impact on genome instability and emergence of new gene function. He develops methods for systematically identifying these variants and assessing their association with phenotypic differences. His main contributions include the characterization of segmental duplications and human...
Julio Collado leads the Computational Genomics Program at UNAM. He develops computational methods for studying the regulation of gene expression in bacteria, especially in E. coli. He participated in the annotation of the initial E. coli genome and is behind the creation of one of the most used databases of bacterial regulatory networks, RegulonDB, continuously...
Bruce Stillman studies the biological processes by which cells replicate their DNA and divide. His laboratory has identified many proteins involved in these tasks, as well as their roles in human disease. Under his leadership, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has been recognized as one of the best molecular biology institutions in the world, and he...
Carina is a graduated at the Autonomous University of Querétaro ( UAQ ) as a Chemical Food Engineer. She made her thesis for the degree in the Biotechnology Laboratory of UAQ and worked in the industrial field on the area of microbiological and physicochemical analysis. At LIIGH she is collaborating with the development and innovation of genomics and...
