| Pedro worked in molecular biology, searching for genes and antigenic proteins of //M. tuberculosis// and //M. leprae// with diagnostic and immunogenic potential. Subsequently he gained experience in the study of breast cancer *, human genetics, and fractal geometry. Later he made the transition to the new disciplines of genomics and bioinformatics. He collaborated in the formulation of a scalar theory that explains the population repertoires of cells in the humoral immune response (Burgos and Moreno-Tovar, 1996). And they were pioneers in applying multifractal analysis to the study of DNA sequences arranged on the chaos game representation (Gutiérrez et al., 1998). In addition, Pedro was coordinator for the Dpto. of Valle del Cauca of the GeBiX Project of Excellence, (2008-2014), for the analysis of metagenomes of extreme environments. Subsequently, between 2015-2020 he was coordinator of the SGR of Valle del Cauca project on breast cancer. | Pedro worked in molecular biology, researching genes and antigenic proteins of M. tuberculosis and M. leprae with diagnostic and immunogenic potential.
