Jesus Garcia Garcia

Hi, I'm Jesus – a Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota, working in the Venteicher Lab.

I use computational tools and high-performance computing to study the genomics of brain tumors, with the goal of better understanding how they develop and why they're so hard to treat.

Outside the lab, I recharge by running, hiking, and rock climbing – and spending as much time as I can with my family. I grew up in Mexico City and moved to the U.S. when I was seven. That journey shaped a lot of who I am.
