Andrés Cumsille

Andrés Cumsille is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, affiliated with the Chevrette Lab. His research focuses on bacterial community interactions, biosynthetic gene clusters, and metabolomics to discover natural products with biomedical and environmental applications. He holds a PhD in Biotechnology from Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, along with a BSc in Environmental Engineering from Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María.

• Education:
  • PhD in Biotechnology, Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María & Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso
  • BSc in Environmental Engineering, Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María

His research spans biosynthetic gene cluster analysis, statistical metabolomics, and bioremediation. Key projects include developing genome visualization tools like GenoVi, studying Streptomyces for antitumoral agents, and advancing frameworks for molecular networking in non-targeted metabolomics.

Notable article trends include comparative genomics of Rhodococcus and Brevibacterium, economic evaluation of bioremediation in Chile, and taxonomic discoveries such as Spiractinospora alimapuensis and Corynebacterium alimapuense. His work bridges environmental biotechnology and microbial natural product discovery.
