- Biography
Dr. Tomás Di Domenico is a computer scientist turned bioinformatician. After a PhD studying protein structure at the University of Padova in Italy, Tomás took a post-doctoral position at the University of Cambridge where he studied piRNAs, a type of non-coding RNAs that mostly targets transposable elements. This exposed him to the limitations of short-read sequencing approaches for repetitive regions and helped to discover the then upcoming long-read sequencing technologies. Since joining the MinION Access Program in 2014, Tomás has been a user of nanopore sequencing technology and he has closely followed its development. He currently works at the National Cancer Research Center in Spain and has introduced nanopore sequencing technology with the goal of furthering their ability to study and understand cancer.
