Camilo gained two B.S. degrees in Biology and in Computer Science from Florida International University, and is currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Bioinformatics at FIU. He is a senior analyst for gene expression analysis from microarray datasets. He has experience with several microarray platforms and has worked with data from different species. His expertise includes performing differential expression analyses of regulated genes using various analysis algorithms, along with pathways analysis and gene-set enrichment analysis. Camilo is also a software architect and is the lead developer for the iBIS portal and other bioinformatics tools.
