Welcome to the home page of the Computational Genomics Laboratory

 We are interested in the evolutionary mechanisms underlying the origins and evolution of cellular life and the complex structures within the cell, the transitions to multi-cellularity, and the medical applications of evolutionary genomics.

Our research encompasses themes that are broadly classified as evolutionary cell biology, systems biology, pathogenomics, and translational or medical bioinformatics.

We also run an independent service unit of the Laboratorio Associado de Oeiras, with its own staff.
