Biography

Antón Carcedo Martinez began his studies in physics at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, northern Spain. Through an Erasmus exchange program, he came to Umeå, Sweden, where he developed a deep connection to the city, particularly drawn to its winter landscapes and natural surroundings. After this experience, he decided to remain in Umeå to pursue a master’s degree in physics. As he delved deeper into his studies, Antón became increasingly fascinated by modeling systems that go beyond traditional physics. Now, as a doctoral student, he is focused on developing mechanistic models of biological processes, specifically examining the role of DNA methylation in gene regulation. His research aims to understand the processes that influence aging and the development of diseases. Antón also enjoys outdoor activities such as cross-country skiing and hiking during the summer, and he practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu in his spare time.
