Celia Burgos Sequeros

Celia Burgos Sequeros serves as a Research Assistant at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR) within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. She is a member of the Brunak Group, a prominent research team led by Professor Søren Brunak, focusing on protein research and computational biology.

Her research interests center on human genomics and genetic epidemiology, with particular expertise in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), blood donor genomics, and the genetic factors influencing disease susceptibility. Her work bridges computational biology with clinical applications, especially in understanding the genetic architecture of complex traits and disease outcomes.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on large-scale genomic studies of Danish populations, with particular emphasis on blood donors and COVID-19 susceptibility. Her research demonstrates expertise in statistical genetics and the application of genomic data to understand both infectious disease outcomes and social behavioral traits at the population level.

As a member of the Brunak Group at CPR, she contributes to one of Europe's leading protein research centers, which maintains extensive collaborations with clinical and research institutions across Denmark and internationally. Her work frequently involves large consortia, as evidenced by her participation in the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative.
