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 and human genetics. Later he made the transition to the new 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).

Pedro is currently working on identifying biological problems that can be addressed with computer tools, mainly using databases, mathematics, geometry and statistics to study the structural and functional organization of genes, genomes and omics profiles. His main interests are: developing algorithms and applications (software) aimed at answering questions that account for the emergent properties that characterize life.
