Marco V. José received his B.S. degree in biology and mathematics at the Faculty of Sciences, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) (1975-1978, 3 years). He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in biomedical sciences from the Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas, UNAM, (1981-1984, 3 years). He took Ph.D. courses in mathematical statistics from University of Washington, Seattle, Autumn and Fall 1981 (6 months). He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in mathematical epidemiology and demography from Princeton University, New Jersey, USA, 1985-1987 (2.5 years).
Marco's interests include molecular biophysics of ligand binding to receptors; modelling heart rate variability and sudden cardiac death; mathematical epidemiology; evolutionary genomics (viral, prokaryotes, and primate evolution); and the evolution of the genetic code. He has mentored 12 doctoral students and 3 postdoctoral researchers. He has about 150 publications in scientific journals and is listed in ISI as a first and/or corresponding author.
He was also appointed a Member of Sigma Xi Society (since September 2004), a Member of the American Society of Mathematical Biology (since January 1995), and a Member of the Network of Researchers on the Chemical Emergence of Life (NoRCEL, since 2021).
