Adrián E. Granada
Principal Investigator
Adrián studied physics at the University of Buenos Aires and completed his PhD in Biophysics at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. This was followed by postdoctoral training at the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School with Prof. Galit Lahav. Afterwards, he held an independent research fellow position at the IRI for the Life Sciences in Berlin. From 2020 to 2025, he served as a research group leader at the Charité Comprehensive Cancer Center, where he established a robust program in quantitative systems biology.
In 2025 he led a project in the BIH Digital Health Accelerator. He now works as an independent scientific advisor in computational biology and biomedical research (GranadaScientific).
