Sergio Sánchez Carrillo is a computational biologist with expertise in bioinformatics and microbial ecology. He specialises in the analysis of metagenomic and metaviromic datasets, applying advanced computational pipelines, statistical modeling, and machine learning to study microbial and viral diversity. His research spans from the human microbiome to extreme ecosystems, including alpine and polar environments.

In the context of BlueAdapt, Sergio is responsible for the bioinformatic analysis of metagenomic data generated from experimental and field studies of microbial pathogens. He focuses on characterising the diversity, abundance, and genetic adaptations of pathogens under climate stressors such as temperature, pH, and chemical pollutants, with a particular emphasis on antimicrobial resistance. His work contributes to understanding how climate change influences pathogen ecology in coastal waters and supports downstream modelling and health impact assessments across the project.
