David Gomez

David Gomez is an Assistant Professor at the School of Medicine, University College Dublin, and a group leader at Systems Biology Ireland. His research integrates experimental proteomics, computational modeling, and systems biology to study signal transduction in cancer, with a focus on the Hippo pathway and its interactions with oncogenic networks like RAS/RAF and AKT.

• Prof Cert in University Teaching & Learning, UCD

His recent work explores mitochondrial dysfunction in Barrett's oesophagus progression, ALS-related proteomic changes, and kinase-independent mechanisms in drug resistance. He employs multidisciplinary approaches spanning mass spectrometry, mathematical models, and cross-species validation.

Key article trends include proteomic profiling of disease models (cancer, neurodegeneration), extracellular vesicle dynamics, and systems-level analysis of signaling crosstalk. His studies frequently involve pathway reconstruction and identification of therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Gomez coordinates modules like Cell-Cell Signalling and Molecules in Medicine, and has served as a peer reviewer for journals including Nature Communications and Cancer Research. He leads a research team at Systems Biology Ireland and has secured grants such as the UCD Equip Scheme.
