Prof. Pedro Beltrao

Prof. Pedro Beltrao is Associate Professor at the Institute of Molecular Systems Biology in the Department of Biology. The Beltrao Group focuses on the cellular consequences of genetic variation and their influence on health and illness. The diversity of life and the differences in humans are, to some extent, determined by differences in DNA. The long-term goal is to have comprehensive models of how DNA changes result in differences in biomolecules, their interactions and, ultimately, different traits or diseases.
