Gabriel Moreno-Hagelsieb

Gabriel Moreno-Hagelsieb is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Wilfrid Laurier University. Holding a PhD in Biotechnology from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, his research spans computational genomics and microbiology, focusing on genetic functional networks in prokaryotes.

• Education: PhD in Biotechnology, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

Research Interests include metagenomics, gene regulation in prokaryotes, comparative genomics, and the computational analysis of gene neighborhoods. His lab develops tools like AnnoView and AUGcontext DB to explore uncharacterized genes and translational initiation signals.

Article Trends reveal a focus on transcription factor prediction, microbial adaptation, and genome-based species delimitation, with recent work integrating deep learning for functional genomics. Collaborations span USDA/ARS and Cornell University.

Laboratory: The Lab of Computational conSequences studies gene function prediction through sequence databases, metagenomes, and genomic language models.
