Guillermo Andres Rangel Piñeros

Guillermo Andres Rangel Piñeros is a Researcher at the Section for Geogenetics within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen. Holding a PhD in Microbiology from the University of Leicester (awarded January 2019), he focuses on computational approaches to genomic analysis with emphasis on phage biology and ancient DNA.

His research spans computational genomics, viral metagenomics, and phage bioinformatics, developing tools for viral detection and taxonomic classification. Recent work integrates genomic, lipid, and palynological analyses of historical artifacts while advancing phage genome comparison methodologies.

Publications demonstrate strong trends in computational tool development for phage genomics (60% of output) and viral bioinformatics (40%), with significant contributions to SARS-CoV-2 research during the pandemic. His work shows consistent collaboration with international teams including Clokie, Sicheritz-Pontén, and Reyes.

Active grants and advising roles are not explicitly documented in available sources, though his collaborative publication record indicates team leadership in bioinformatics projects.
