👋 Hi, I'm David Alberto García Estrada

Pharmaceutical Chemist | Biologist | Bioinformatics Researcher
PhD Candidate in Integrative Biology at Cinvestav
🔬 Multi-omics meets fungal biology: decoding cytokinin signaling in Trichoderma atroviride

"Pursue excellence, and success will follow."


🧠 Research Interests

I work at the intersection of experimental biology, bioinformatics, and data science, specializing in:

  • 🌱 Fungal Development & Hormone Signaling
    Multi-omics analysis of cytokinin signaling during fungal germination and morphogenesis.

  • 🧬 Functional & Comparative Genomics
    Mining gene families and adaptive traits in fungi and extremophiles.

  • 🌿 Microbial Ecology & Metagenomics
    Profiling soil and gut microbiomes using high-throughput sequencing and diversity metrics.

  • 🔁 Reproducible Data Science
    Developing pipelines for RNA-seq, metagenomics, and genome annotation.


🔬 Current Research Projects

  • Cytokinin-responsive transcriptomics in T. atroviride (Cinvestav)
  • BioCode Academy
    📘 Bioinformatics Education Platform — Plataforma educativa dicada a la formación en bioinformática, desde conceptos básicos hasta análisis avanzados
