Antonio Gómez Martín

Dr. Gómez-Martín completed an internship in forensic genetics at the Genetic Identification Lab of the University of Granada and continued his training in toxicogenomics and pesticides as a PhD student in the Department of Legal Medicine and Toxicology at the same university. He also trained in measuring DNA adducts at the University of Manchester (UK) for four months, and in pharmacogenomics in a collaboration with San Cecilio University Hospital. He also trained in private genetics companies such as Savia Biotech and Lorgen, thanks to the Fellowships for Young Entrepreneurs and Specialist Technician granted by the Government of Andalusia and the Spanish Government respectively. In 2016 he obtained the Mention of Research granted by the Government of Andalusia.

He has worked as an Assistant Professor of Toxicology in the Medicine, Pharmacy and Environmental Sciences degrees at the University of Granada, and in the Master's degree in Human Genetics and Genomic Medicine. He has collaborated in innovation projects related to toxicology and genetics, and in the GrinUGR project, with a strong focus on virtual teaching and citizen science. He worked in the Genomics Unit at GENYO with a Technical Support of Infrastructure grant from the Spanish Government, and as R&D manager at NIMGenetics. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Escuela Andaluza de Salud Pública (2021-2024), in the GENEIDA birth cohort (Genetics, Environmental exposures and infant development in Andalusia), and a bioinformatics technician at ibs.GRANADA (2025-2026) with an ISCIII contract, supporting the research groups of the institute through its Bioinformatics Platform.

Since April 2026 he works as a bioinformatician in the Precision Medicine and Genomics Unit of the Health Division of T-Systems Iberia: omics data analysis and the design, development, validation and operation of reproducible, traceable and scalable analysis pipelines.

Specialties: population genetics, toxicogenomics and pesticides, pharmacogenomics, environmental genetics in prostate cancer, environmental epigenetics in human placenta, and citizen science.

He has wide experience in public and private genomics companies and units (Savia Biotech, LORGEN, GENYO and NIMGenetics), with equipment such as ABI 3130xl Genetic Analyzers, qPCR and digital PCR platforms (Thermo Fisher), automated liquid handlers (Tecan), iScan (genotyping, epigenetics, gene expression), and MiniSeq, NextSeq and NovaSeq (Illumina), and with next-generation sequencing applications (whole genome, exome, targeted gene panels, RNA-seq, methylation and small RNAs).
