Carlos Jimenez

Carlos Jimenez is a Researcher working in the Bienko Group as a postdoc, focusing on epigenetics and chromatin biology. His research explores genome and proteome spatial organization within eukaryotic nuclei, aiming to develop novel methods for profiling nuclear components' distribution and their functional roles in gene expression and developmental processes. He is funded by the European Commission's MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Education:

• Bachelor's in Genetics at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
• Bachelor's in Molecular Biotechnology at Universitat de Barcelona
• PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biomedicine from Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research, studying the mSWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex in neuroblastoma.

Research Focus: Integrating spatial genome organization, chromatin accessibility, and epigenetic mechanisms to understand development and disease, particularly cancer. Emphasizes technological innovation for biological process analysis.

Awards:

• MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship (European Commission)

Labs/Teams: Active in the Bienko Group, contributing to studies on nuclear architecture and its functional implications.
