Jonatan Fernández García – PhD Candidate
Early Stage Researcher METACAN, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
BA, Biology and MSc, Multivariate Data Analysis.
Jonatan uses multivariate statistical methods and machine learning to build models based on metabolomics, proteomics and transcriptomics data for biomarker discovery and patient classification or stratification. He is currently focusing on finding biomarkers for CNS infiltration in Lymphoma patients. He’s collaborating in other projects including studying the response to ICI therapy in Melanoma patients and studying the metabolic profile of Duchenne dystrophy patients.
