Arnau Peris Cuesta, M.B.

Associate Computational Scientist

Arnau is an associate computational scientist in the Shukla’s lab at MD Anderson. He graduated from University of Bologna and received his international Msc in Bioinformatics, completing his thesis research in the CSIC (Parc Cientific, Valencia, Spain). He studied the design of co-expression networks for regulatory pathways by using transcriptomic profiling. After his Msc, he joined YourBiome Therapeutics (Lisbon, Portugal) where he led the construction of a Machine Learning predictor for clinical response to COVID19 based on the patients gut microbiome. In the Shukla’s lab, he is building a model for predicting neoantigens quality and tumor fitness while generating different pipelines for NGS approaches.
