Javier Perez-Garcia completed a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy in 2019 from the University of La Laguna (ULL), with two academic recognitions of the “Extraordinary Award in the Pharmacy Degree” and the “Excellence Award in Health Sciences”. As an undergraduate student, he was awarded two Fundación P. iP. Pizarroso scholarship-awards for his academic performance and a competitive Collaboration Grant from the Spanish Ministry of Education during the completion of his Bachelor's Thesis (defended with Honors). He was awarded a University Professor Training Ph.D. fellowship to start his Ph.D. at the Genomics and Health Lab. In 2023, he obtained a Ph.D. in Health Sciences from ULL with the qualification of Outstanding Cum Laude, the distinctions of "International Mention" and "Compendium of Publications", and the "Extraordinary Award" and "Excellence Award" of Ph.D. in Health Sciences. His research focuses on the application of multiomics techniques (e.g., genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, and metagenomics) to conduct molecular epidemiology studies in asthma and respiratory and/or allergic diseases.
