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. I also build tools for large-scale drug–disease screening in network medicine and audit how AI systems recognize scientific contributions.

During my PhD at the Complex Systems Institute of ENS Lyon (France), I studied protein structure and function through amino-acid networks and deep mutational scanning data. I then joined the National Genomics Center in Mexico, where I used gene co-expression networks to investigate transcriptomic features of breast cancer.
