Juan Antonio Rodríguez

Juan Antonio Rodríguez serves as an Assistant Professor at the Section for Hologenomics within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen. His research integrates advanced genomic technologies with computational approaches to explore fundamental questions in evolutionary biology, conservation genetics, and disease mechanisms.

His research interests center on 3D genomics and hologenomics, with particular focus on genome architecture across evolutionary timescales. Rodríguez investigates how three-dimensional genome organization influences gene regulation in development and disease, examining both contemporary biological systems and ancient DNA specimens. His work bridges computational biology with experimental genomics, developing and applying novel methodologies to analyze complex genomic datasets from diverse biological contexts including endangered species, cancer cells, and ancient specimens.

Analysis of Rodríguez's publication record reveals a strong interdisciplinary approach connecting evolutionary genomics with medical applications. His work spans from fundamental studies of genome architecture to applied research in conservation biology and cancer genomics. The recurring theme across his research is the investigation of three-dimensional genome organization and its functional implications across different biological contexts and evolutionary timescales.

Rodríguez maintains active collaborations across multiple institutions as evidenced by his co-authorship on numerous high-impact publications in journals such as Cell, Molecular Ecology, and Communications Biology. His research has garnered significant attention in the scientific community with multiple papers receiving substantial citations and media coverage, including pickup by 202 news outlets for his work on ancient mammoth genome architecture.
