Pedro Reche is s multidisplinary scientist with relevant contributions in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics and Immunology. He has published over 100 articles in peer review journals that have received over 8000 citations. He joined the Complutense University of Madrid in 2006 to lead the Immunomedicine Group. The  group has a wide range of research interests but major ones are deciphering the factors that determine immunogenicity and the design of epitope-based vaccines.
