After that, he went to work at a regional hospital as Head of the Section of Immunology where he run a Transplant Immunology Unit and very soon he pioneered in Spain the application of Molecular Biology to clinical immunological environments. At the same time he worked in Bioinformatics and Theoretical Biology developing programs for tissue typing and genomic typing. In this period, he published different papers in International Journals, he directed several PhD thesis and designed innovative genomic typing methods for HLA-DR genes. The last years in the hospital he was in charge of Web Applications area in The Medical Informatics Department. In 2005, he with Raquel Tobes founded Era7 Bioinformatics (www.era7bioinformatics. com). Working as the CEO of Era7, he has built a multidisciplinary team and led the company to the position in which Era7 Bioinformatics is the Next Generation Sequencing leader in Spain and an international company with presence in the USA offering a wide portfolio of Cloud Computing based bioinformatics solutions.
