After achieving the Biotechnology degree from the Politechnic University of Valencia (2014), Miguel Báez completed his academic career, first, through a master in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Málaga (2016) and, later, through the master in Quantitative Biotechnology from the University of Zaragoza (2018). Currently, he is a predoctoral fellow of the PhD program in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine from the University of Cantabria. His field of research is the information processing in genetic circuits and its relation with the molecular noise that characterizes cellular transduction pathways. Halfway between wet lab and computational modelling, the results from this work will help to clarify how environmental changes shape the cell response and its possible applications in synthetic biology.
