معرفی
Gregory Fonseca, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at McGill University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. He serves as a Scientist at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) at the Glen site, where he is affiliated with the Translational Research in Respiratory Diseases Program within the Centre for Translational Biology.
Dr. Fonseca's research focuses on understanding inflammatory processes in lung diseases through computational approaches. His work integrates machine learning with next-generation sequencing data to analyze cytokine activation patterns and deconvolute inflammatory responses in resident macrophage populations. His research spans several key areas including machine learning applications in biology, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and alveolar macrophage biology.
His publication record demonstrates expertise in computational analysis of inflammatory responses, with recent work focusing on cell type deconvolution in spatial transcriptomics, sequence-to-expression modeling, and the relationship between epigenetic age and cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals with airflow limitation. His research bridges computational biology with respiratory medicine to understand disease mechanisms at the molecular level.
Dr. Fonseca maintains active collaborations across multiple research groups at McGill University and the RI-MUHC, contributing to the institution's strong research profile in respiratory diseases and computational biology.
