Rodrigo Dorantes-Gilardi, PhD

My research at NetSI applies network science to understand complex systems in biology, biomedicine, and the science of science. Working in the group of Albert-László Barabási, I develop computational methods to quantify the impact of biobanks, biomedical tools, and publication venues on scientific careers and innovation. My work also extends to network medicine, building tools for large-scale drug–disease screening, and to auditing how AI systems recognize scientific contributions. During my PhD at the complex system institute of ENS Lyon (France), I studied the structure and function of proteins using amino-acid networks and deep mutational scanning data, and later at National Genomics Center (Mexico), I used gene co-expression networks to study transcriptomic features of breast cancer.
