Jeremy Guerrero Alejos graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering from UTEC (Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología, Peru) in 2024. His undergraduate thesis focused on modeling and optimizing the C17 odd-chain fatty acid biosynthetic pathway in Yarrowia lipolytica using dynamic flux balance analysis (dFBA).

After graduation, he joined the Chromatin Biochemistry Laboratory as a bioinformatics consultant, where he analyzed transcriptomic data from diverse cancer types to identify correlations between cancer progression and the dysregulation of H1 linker histone genes. By developing a robust, parallelized workflow using Nextflow and SLURM, he successfully processed and analyzed over 2,000 human RNA-seq samples.

He is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Bioengineering at KAUST.
