Alejandro Martinez-Carrasco

Alejandro is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Karczewski Lab at the ATGU and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. He earned his PhD in Bioinformatics from University College London, where he studied the genetic factors influencing longitudinal traits in Parkinson’s disease. His research involved developing frameworks to perform downstream functional analyses by integrating multi-omic data. Currently, his work focuses on the intersection of bioinformatics and deep learning. He is particularly interested in leveraging deep learning models to predict pathogenicity and understand how genetic and multi-omic variations contribute to disease etiology.
