Biography

Hi! My name is Lucia Ramirez Navarro. I recently graduated from the Undergraduate Program on Genomic Sciences from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and I am currently doing the MPhil in Biological Science (Sanger Institute) with Dr Gosia Trynka. Previously, I was working with Dr. Alejandra Medina Rivera to characterize regulatory variants in promoters with enhancer activity and their relation with human diseases.
