Rodrigo De La Vega Gomar

Molecular and Cellular Biology

I’m a second-year PhD student in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Department, working in the Guang Yao Lab. I’m originally from Guatemala but completed my undergraduate studies in genetics and genomics across China and the US. My current work involves applying basic machine learning to -omic datasets and analyzing high-content screening data. I’m excited to help researchers across fields bridge the gap between wet-lab and computational research, and translate their scientific questions into approachable, data-driven strategies.
