His research focuses on Computational Biology: the application of knowledge from Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science, to the development of models that allow the study of life on its multiple scales. At the microscopic level, it explores the structure-function relationships encoded in the architecture of biological macromolecules. At the mesoscale, he develops new methods that support the inference of the structure and dynamic characterization of biological networks. At the macroscale, he develops methods to study the adaptation of human interactions produced by information flows and the spread of infectious diseases.
