Pere Caminal Magrans

I am a former researcher at the B2SLab. This lab belongs to the Institut de Recerca i Innovació en Salut, at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).

I developed a large expertise in the modeling of risk prediction in the clinical environment. Main research interests in my carrer focused on the joint analysis of genetic and physiological signals in several areas (e.g. Cardiac Risk Assessment, Anesthesia Depth Assessment).

Former PhD Students

Angela Lopez del Rio

Angela is a biomedical engineer (BSc from the Technical University of Madrid and MSc from the University of Barcelona/Polytechnic University of Catalonia). She did her PhD at the B2SLab between 2017-2021, focusing on ways to ensure the quality and reliability of deep learning models used to predict how proteins and compounds interact in the early stages of drug discovery. During her PhD, she collaborated with the start-up Mind the Byte and did a research stay at Uniprot, in the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL) in Cambridge, UK. Since 2020, she’s been working as a Data Scientist at the pharma company Boehringer Ingelheim, first in R&D in Biberach (Germany) and now back in Barcelona, in the Business Operations department.

Sergi Picart Armada

Welcome to my small site! My name is Sergi Picart and my background is Industrial Engineering and a Degree in Mathematics. I deeply thank CFIS (UPC, Barcelona, Spain) for offering me this excellent opportunity. I used to be a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering, advised by Alexandre Perera in the B2SLab. The defense took place virtually in Covid19 times and can be found here. You will find further information about the publications and the software in the sections below. I enjoy playing with math, statistical learning and programming. Likewise, computational biology is an amusing and rewarding field to explore. My main research topic included interpretable diffusion algorithms on biological networks, combined with functional analysis on metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics studies.

Leonardo Andrea Marcon

Hi! I’m Leonardo. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Energy Engineering from Università degli Studi di Padova (UNIPD), and I’m currently finishing my Master’s degree in Interdisciplinary and Innovative Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). I’m also working on my Master’s thesis with B2S Lab, focusing on whether extreme temperature shifts have a greater impact on people with diabetes and/or cardiovascular diseases.

Niclas Schippan

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Hamburg (UHH) and the HAW Hamburg from Germany. I’m currently finishing my master’s degree in “Interdisciplinary and Innovative Engineering” at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). For that I´m working on my master’s thesis at the B2S Lab, developing a predictive model for the onset of Type-2-Diabetes based on high blood sugar.
