Education

Collado-Vides studied at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, gaining a BSc in biomedical science (1983), an MSc in physical chemistry (1985) and a PhD in biomathematics (1989). Following his PhD, he carried out postdoctoral studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).[1]

Work and research

Collado-Vides' research focuses on the regulation of gene expression in bacteria,[1] in particular, creating a model of the regulatory network of E. coli K-12. The RegulonDB database (released in 2010) makes this data available.[3] He has also been involved in the construction of the EcoCyc E. coli database[4][5] and the completion of the sequenced E. coli genome.[6]

He was the founding President of the Mexican Society of Genomics.[7]
