Andres Moya Simarro

Andres Moya Simarro is a Full Professor in the Department of Genetics at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, Universitat de València. He is affiliated with the Institute for Biological Systems Integration (I2SYSBIO) and leads the GENEVOL Evolutionary Genetics research group. His work bridges evolutionary biology, microbiome science, and systems biology.

His research interests span Evolutionary Genetics, Microbiome Research, Gut-Brain Axis, Computational Biology, and Synthetic Biology. He investigates how microbial communities influence host metabolism, cognition, and disease, using integrative multiomics and in silico modeling approaches. His work on SARS-CoV-2 evolution highlights trends in genome compositional heterogeneity during the pandemic.

Recent publications show a strong trend toward understanding the role of the gut microbiota in human health, including links to cognitive performance, metabolic regulation, and immune responses. His methodological contributions include microbiome data analysis frameworks and genome-scale metabolic modeling for synthetic biology applications.
