“High-level research requires high-level data analysis”.
Technological advancement and the dissemination of knowledge make experiments increasingly sophisticated. And this leads to a growing volume of data and greater complexity when interpreting it.
At Codas Lab we are aware of this changing environment and the need to have the right people. Therefore, our team is made up of scientists specialized in data analysis and knowledge generation.

Ana Camacho Páez
Position
Codas Lab
CEO of Rekom Biotech
She has an experience of more than thirty years in design and development of processes regarding the obtaining of recombinant proteins related to infectious diseases. She completed her PhD in the Institute of Parasitology and Biomedicine López-Neyra in Granada (Spain) and subsequently she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Spanish National Biotechnology Centre in Madrid (Spain).
After this period, she set up the Molecular Biology Department of the biotechnology company Vircell, heading for eight years the Molecular Biology-1 Department, focused on the design and development of recombinant antigens related to infectious diseases.

Jesús García Sánchez
Position
PhD Candidate in CoDaS Lab
Researcher at the MuSTARD project
MSc in Physics and Mathematics (Biomathematics specialization) from the University of Granada (Spain, 2024).
BSc in Physics form the University of Granada (Spain, 2022).
Jesús García Sánchez is a PhD candidate at the CoDaS Lab. His PhD research is funded by the MuSTARD project and focuses on the multiscale analysis of spatio-temporal research data. He holds a MSc in Physics and Mathematics, with specialization in Biomathematics. He first joined the CoDaS Lab through the DigiVolCan project, where he worked with seismic data to assist in the forecast of volcanic eruptions using multivariate analysis.
I am passionate about science communication and martial arts, though I rarely mix the two.

The world’s hardest working little scientist
Name
Carolina Gómez Llorente
Professor of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology II of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Granada (Spain). Her research is mainly focused on the study of the influence of the intestinal microbiota on the pathology of diseases such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, asthma, etc. For this she uses omics techniques such as metagenomics, metabolomics and epigenomics.
Together with these techniques, in collaboration with Dr. Camacho, they are using data analysis techniques that allow them to understand the complex mechanisms that contribute to the development of non-communicable diseases.
Currently, his research activity is summarized in 49 publications in JCR, and he has an H index of 23, according to Web of Science.
