Eduardo Roberto Cruz-Chú

I am no longer at the TCBG. If you need to contact me, I keep a website with my updated information. It is a bit lame now, but hopefully I will improve it over time.

Ph.D. in Biophysics and Computational Biology (2010), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Illinois-USA
B.Sc. in Chemistry (1999) and Applied Mathematics (2000), Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Lima-Perú.

Research Interest
