ICREA Research Professor at UPF (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). Life & Medical Sciences

I am ICREA research professor (the Catalan Institute for research and Advanced Studies). I am now at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra , where I'm the head of the Complex Systems Lab. Since 1997, I am External Professor of the Santa Fe Institute (New Mexico, USA), a great place to do research in a truly interdisciplinary environment, full of smart people. I am also member of the Council of the European Complex Systems Society and member of the editorial board of several international journals. I my degrees in Physics and Biology at the University of Barcelona and received my PhD in Physics in the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya.
One of my main research interests is understanding the origins of complexity and its decay in biological systems and their engineered counterparts. Multicellularity, computation, robustness and evolvability are some of our key problems. To this goal, my Lab involves both theoretical and experimental research, including a main program on synthetic biology.

How multicellularity, computation, robustness and evolvability emerge are some of the key problems that I would like to understand. To this goal, my Lab involves both theoretical and experimental research, including an ambitious program on synthetic biology.
