Andrés Moreno-Estrada

Andrés Moreno-Estrada is a medical doctor and population geneticist deeply interested in molecular evolution and its implications in human population history and medical genomics. During his PhD he was trained in evolutionary and population genetics, which complemented his previous medical background. As a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Carlos Bustamante and research associate at Stanford University, Moreno-Estrada's work integrated genomics, evolution and precision medicine in many different projects involving large collections of populations, in particular from the Americas and the Pacific. His group is interested in human evolution, adaptation, and population history as well as the biomedical implications of human genetic diversity in underserved populations of the world.
