Antonio del Sol obtained his BSc in Physics from the Moscow State University "M.V. Lomonosov" and continued his scientific pursuits by completing his PhD in Mathematical Physics from the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

In 1995, Dr. Del Sol joined the Instituto de Física, UNAM (Mexico) as a postdoctoral researcher, and by 1996, he became a full-time researcher and was honored with the “Cátedra Patrimonial de Excelencia, Nivel II” by CONACYT. Following this, Dr. Del Sol pursued further postdoctoral studies at the Protein Design Group at Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CSIC) in Madrid until 2001. Subsequently, he embarked on a BBSRC Research Fellowship at the Bioinformatics Unit at the Computer Science Department at the University College London, UK.

In 2018, Dr. Del Sol joined CIC bioGUNE as an Ikerbasque Research Professor and Group Leader, leading the Computational Biology Group. His laboratory's primary focus lies in computational systems biology, particularly in the realms of stem cell research, aging, and disease modeling. He is also a Professor of Bioinformatics at the University of Luxembourg and head of the Computational Biology group at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB).
