معرفی
Bernardo Gutierrez is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford’s Department of Biology and the Oxford Martin School Pandemic Genomics Programme, affiliated with the Pybus and Kraemer research groups. His work focuses on evolutionary genetics of emerging viruses, genomic epidemiology, and integrating genomic, epidemiological, and mobility data to model epidemic trajectories. He explores early viral spread, spillover events, and the impact of human mobility on infectious disease dynamics.
Research Interests
- Evolutionary mechanisms of viral emergence and adaptation
- Genomic sampling biases in pathogen surveillance
- One Health approaches to zoonotic disease surveillance
- Geographic spread modeling of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens
Key Themes in Publications
- Development of genomic epidemiology tools (e.g., GRAPEVNE pipeline)
- Analysis of mobility networks and hypergraphs for disease spread prediction
- Global influenza dynamics reshaped by pandemic interventions
- Conservation genetics of endangered species (e.g., Ecuadorian spider monkeys)
Lab/Tech Affiliations
Collaborates with the Pybus and Kraemer groups to advance pandemic genomics research, leveraging phylogenetic and computational methods to address real-time public health challenges.
