Pedro G. Ferreira graduated in Systems and Informatics Engineering from the University of Minho in 2002 and obtained his Ph. D. in Artificial Intelligence from the same University in 2007. From 2008 to 2012, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Bioinformatics and Genomics Laboratory, Centre for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona. From 2012 to 2014, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow the Functional Population Genomics and Genetics of Complex Traits group, School of Medicine, University of Geneva. He has been involved in several large international consortia including: ICGC-CLL, ENCODE, GEUVADIS, SYSCOL and GTEx. He published several papers in high impact journals, including the multidisciplinary journals: Nature, Science, Nature Communications, Scientific Reports, PNAS and eLife. Other papers have been published in high impact specialized journals including Genome Biology, Genome Research, American Journal of Human Genetics, Nature Cell Biology, RNA or Leukemia. He is the author of 3 book chapters and 2 books. He has an h-index of 31, with a total > 32 000 citations. In 2015, he was awarded an FCT Investigator Starting grant and he joined Ipatimup/i3s. He was awrded the Research Award 2015 and 2019 from Portuguese Society of Human Genetics - SPGH and the Microsoft Azure Research Award for Data Science 2017. He is a partner in a bioinformatics data analysis company with national and international clients, including hospitals, diagnostic clinics and research centres. From 2015 to 2018, he was an invited assistant professor at the Department of Informatics at the University of Minho, where he taught bioinformatics and data analysis at master's level. He has been involved in the final supervision of 1 postdoctoral fellow, 2 PhD students, 22 Masters students and 3 research assistants, and in the ongoing (main and co-) supervision of 5 PhD students and 5 Masters students. He was the director of the Masters and Specialisation in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (2020-2023). He has experience in the genomics start-up environment, where he developed information systems for personal genomics data interpretation. He is currently an Assistant Professor (since 02/2019) with Habilitation (since 10/2022) at Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto and a Senior Researcher at the Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support Group at INESCTEC. He is currently the Director of the Bachelor in Bioinformatics and Adjunct Director of the Bachelor in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. His main research focus is on developing methods for a variety of problems in genomic data science. In particular, he is interested in unravelling the role of genomics in human health and disease. To achieve this goal, he applies and develops data analysis models using machine learning and probabilistic methods to analyse and interpret diverse, complex and large-scale genomic datasets.
