In the past, I 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). Later, we were pioneers in applying multifractal analysis to the study of DNA sequences arranged on the representation of the chaos game (Gutiérrez et al., 1998). Currently I am part of the bioinformatics group as a leader at the EISC, identifying biological problems that can be approached with tools from computer science. Especially, I am interested in the study of the molecular, mathematical, geometric and statistical bases of the structural and functional organization of genes, genomes, and other omics and computer sciences, developing algorithms and applications (software) aimed at answering questions that account for the emergent properties that characterize life.
