Manuel Corpas currently serves as the Scientific Director of Cambridge Precision Medicine and holds a position as a tutor at the Institute of Continuing Education, University of Cambridge. He holds a degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Navarra, along with an MSc and PhD in Bioinformatics from the University of Manchester.With a prolific career, Manuel has authored over 50 peer-reviewed scientific publications and authored a book titled 'Perfect DNA', delving into the broader implications surrounding genetic sequencing. He actively contributes to the scientific community, serving as a member of the scientific program committee for the Personal Genomes Conference at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Cambridge, and as the scientific coordinator for the World Longevity Forum in Valencia.Manuel's expertise in genomics dates back to the early stages of his career, where he was among the pioneers in sequencing his own genome and those of his close relatives, which he documented as Corpasome. During his tenure at the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, he developed innovative methodologies for the integration, visualization, and analysis of genomic data. Additionally, he held a role as a Scientific Programmer at the European Bioinformatics Institute.
