Hi, I am Bárbara (she/her). I am a computational biologist/geneticist. I am very interested in all things related to human evolution. I have worked with immunogenetics and balancing selection. Lately, I am more focused on polygenic scores and their predictions, particularly in admixed populations. I love to program and learn new languages (computational or not). In my spare time I engage in many hobbies: comic drawing, choir singing, guitar playing, book readings/discussions, yoga, activism, writing, dog whispering, urban gardening, and editing wikipedia entries. Please reach out if you’d like to collaborate on a cool project!
