个人简介
Rafael’s first research focused on investigating the expression and replication of Human Endogenous Retroviruses, repetitive elements that comprise 8% of the human genome. This field was poorly studied at the time with confusing nomenclature of retroviruses and lack of uniform technology. Rafael discovered endogenous retroviruses viral particles in the blood of HIV patients that has the ability to replicate at some extent. He discovered thousands of endogenous retroviral sequences in the centromeres and start using them as markers to study centromere biology, a repetitive area of the genome that have been hard to annotate and study. Rafael is originally from Bogota, Colombia, and has a research interest in investigating the repetitive regions in the human genome, in particular centromeres and telomeres. He studies how the instability in those areas of the genome effect the function of chromosomes in healthy cells and disease processes.
