Biography

Samuel Miravet-Verde is a computational biologist specializing in microbiology and artificial intelligence-driven bioinformatics. He investigates the genomic functional complexity of microbial life using proteogenomic approaches. His PhD research at the Centre for Genomic Regulation focused on the roles of small proteins in microbial systems and led to the development of several tools for assessing gene essentiality. Currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Sunagawa Lab at ETH Zurich, he contributes to the Ocean Microbiome Database, which is the largest curated resource of marine microbial genomes. His work is instrumental in projects funded by the Human Frontiers Science Program. Previously, he has also worked as a data analyst and has contributed to numerous microbiological studies through various positions in Spain and the United States.
