Sam Morabito

Hello! I am a postdoc in the Single Cell Genomics Group at the Centre Nacional d’Anàlisi Genòmica in Barcelona, Spain. Currently, my research focuses on studying metastatic colorectal cancer using single-cell transcriptomics and T-cell receptor sequencing. During my PhD in Mathematical, Computational and Systems Biology (MCSB) at the University of California Irvine, I studied transcriptomic and epigenomic changes throughout the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease in lab of Dr. Vivek Swarup. I also work on bioinformatic methods development, most notably the R package hdWGCNA for gene co-expression network analysis. I am currently working on compact for in-silico perturbation analysis and chromatic for epigenomic erosion analysis.

These days, in my spare time I am improving my Catalan speaking at the CPNL. My favorite things to do outside of the lab include exploring Barcelona and Catalonia 🧭 drinking specialty coffee ☕ going to concerts 🎸 playing board games 🎲 going to the beach 🌴 and spending time with my cats Kiki and Junior 🐈‍⬛
