Xavier Domingo-Almenara, PhD


Dr. Domingo-Almenara received a B.S in Electronics Engineer, and an M.S and a PhD in Bioengineering (2016, with an Extraordinary PhD award) at the CIBERDEM’s Metabolomics Platform (Department of Electronics Engineering, University Rovira i Virgili, Spain). After a postdoctoral stage at the Scripps Research Center for Metabolomics (La Jolla, US, 2017-2019), he accepted a position as a Principal Investigator at EURECAT – Technology Centre of Catalonia (Reus, Spain). In 2024 he joined the University Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Spain) as a Visiting Professor while maintaining an Adjunct Senior Researcher position at EURECAT. He has also been a Visiting Researcher at the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) in Toulouse (2023).

He has co-authored more than 25 publications including papers as a first and corresponding author published in journals like Nature Methods, Nature Communications or Analytical Chemistry; and has been invited as a speaker or course instructor in 11 international conferences. He is or has been PI of research projects from funders like the Spanish Research Agency (AEI), “La Caixa” Foundation, or the European Commission. He has been recognized as PI of a Consolidated Research Group (GRC) by the Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca (AGAUR), and holds the Established Researcher (R3) certificate by the Spanish State Research Agency (AEI). He serves as an Associate Editor of the Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences journal and has served in Ph.D. thesis committees. He currently supervises three PhD thesis.

His research, at the intersection of engineering, chemistry and biology, combines bioinformatics and analytical chemistry to design new computational methods to understand metabolism using mass spectrometry-based metabolomics.
