Mario Caceres Aguilar

Mario Caceres Aguilar is an ICREA Researcher at the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (IBB) at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. He specializes in genomic research with a focus on structural variants, particularly inversions in human and Drosophila genomes. His work bridges functional genomics, evolutionary biology, and precision medicine.

• Principal Investigator of projects like ON THE ROLE OF HUMAN RECURRENT MUTATIONS (2020–2023) and IN2DIAG (2017–2018).
• Leading the Grup de Genòmica, Bioinformàtica i Biologia Evolutiva (GBBE) within IBB.

Research interests include identifying functional impacts of genomic inversions, developing diagnostic tools for precision medicine, and analyzing structural variants across populations. Key contributions include haplotype mapping and high-throughput genotyping methods (e.g., GCAT|Panel).

Collaborates internationally on projects like the macaque genome analysis and structural variant functional studies. His work spans disciplines from genetics to computational biology, with applications in disease genetics and evolutionary processes.
