Iñaki Comas Espadas

Head of the Tuberculosis Genomics Unit. I did my PhD in the University of Valencia on Evolutionary Genomics of Proteobacteria. In 2008, I moved to Dr. Sebastien Gagneux laboratory in the National Institute for Medical Research in London. We were among the first to use NGS in large scale to address issues related with host-pathogen interaction, evolution and drug resistance. In 2012 I returned to Spain with a Marie Curie and later a Ramón y Cajal and established a new line of research in tuberculosis. In 2016 I started a new position as Científico Titular at the Instituto de Biomedicina de Valencia. Current funding includes ERC Starting Grant, Ministerio de Ciencia Retos, Explora, Red de Excelencia y Equipamiento and Generalitat Valenciana Consolidables.
