Evolutionary Immunogenomics Group
Dr Luis Zapata Ortiz leads a dedicated research group focusing on advancing our understanding of the immune system's role in genetic variability and its implications for disease, cancer and ageing.
Our team is investigating how the immune system influences genetic variability, with a specific focus on cancer.
The Evolutionary Immunogenomics team is investigating how the immune system influences genetic variability, with a specific focus on cancer. By combining evolutionary theory, computational methods, and cutting-edge genomic technologies, the group strives to shed light on the links between immunity, ageing, and cancer. Through their research, Luis and his group aim to develop innovative algorithms for the detection and understanding of genetic changes, ultimately contributing to improved cancer treatments.
