Manuel Corpas PhD
Chief Scientist
Since the start of his career Manuel has focused on the human genome, and was one of the first people to sequence his own genome and those of close family members. At the Sanger Institute in Cambridge he developed methods for integration, visualisation and analysis of genomic data, and was also a Scientific Programmer at the European Bioinformatics Institute. In addition, he has led research on animal and plant genomes at the Genome Analysis Centre and was Scientific Lead at Repositive, a startup specialised in sharing and storing genomes of different types. As well as his work at Cambridge Precision Medicine, Manuel is a Tutor at the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education and also teaches online courses in precision medicine in both English and Spanish.
Manuel has over 50 peer reviewed scientific publications to his name, and a book, Perfect DNA, in which he explores the wider issues beyond the science of genetic sequencing. Manuel graduated in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Navarra, with a Masters and PhD in Bioinformatics from the University of Manchester. Details of Manuel’s publications can be found here.
