Miguel de Diego Fuertes

Miguel completed an MSc degree in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics at the University of Aberdeen in 2022, and is now a PhD student at the University of Antwerp. His research is focused on improving the output actionability of genomic analyses in order to bridge the gap between research and clinical settings, specifically for drug resistance diagnosis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

 Applying his background in Molecular Biology, he is currently developing solutions for accurately predicting the phenotypic impact of genetic variants detected in Mtb’s drug resistance candidate genes.
