THE GENOMICS TEAM

Passionate about genetics and its cross-disciplinary applications, I trained as a population geneticist, working on animal health and production during my master’s and PhD. Now at the Institut Pasteur in Dakar, I apply my expertise to human health, focusing on malaria research.

Graduated from the University of York in Biochemistry and LSHTM with an MSc in Medical Parasitology after a brief stint in finance. Fell in love with bioinformatics at LSHTM, so glad to be back as a PhD student on the BBSRC LIDo Doctoral Programme investigating the genomic diversity of non-falciparum malaria species!

Initially graduated in Biomedicine from Nottingham Trent university, I decided to take a different direction and graduated with an MSc in Bioinformatics from Cranfield University. From there I learned how to visualise genomic data via fancy websites and create Java applications.

After completing my medical degree at KU Leuven University in Belgium, I worked on in vitro malaria drug screening at Cornell Medicine in New York City. I am now continuing to study malaria in my PhD at LSHTM, focused on molecular surveillance of drug resistance and using genomics to understand variation in human-to-mosquito transmissibility.

Biochemistry background from King’s College London. Graduated from Bioengineering master of research degree in Imperial College London. Currently pursuing a PhD degree in infectious disease computational genomics.

Completed my undergraduate in Biomedical Sciences from King’s College London and postgraduate MSc in Control of Infectious Diseases at LSHTM, which has driven my passion towards tackling parasitic and vector-borne diseases, cumulating into a PhD. I have more fundamentals in wet-lab techniques and practices but slowly growing use to the dry-lab side of science.

I completed my undergraduate degree at Somerville College, University of Oxford in Biological Sciences. Afterwards, I moved back to my hometown in Liverpool to study Tropical Disease Biology at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine where I became more interested in bacterial genomics and bioinformatics. Now undergoing a PhD that combined my interest in infectious diseases (Tuberculosis) with statistics and machine learning.

I graduated in Medical Technology from Khon Kaen University, Thailand, and later earned an MSc in Bioinformatics from Queen Mary University of London, gaining programming skills and expertise in variant analysis with tools like Exomiser. Since 2016, I’ve been a researcher at the Department of Medical Sciences, focusing on pharmacogenomics, rare diseases, and cancer genetics. Additionally, I managed a project developing a digital platform for sharing pharmacogenetic data via Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR).

Natural Sciences graduate from the University of Cambridge. Four years of industry experience in medical devices, before embarking on an MRC funded PhD at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Fieldwork, laboratory, and bioinformatics experience.

Previous degrees in Biochemistry and Veterinary Science from the University of Sussex and University of Cambridge respectively. Joined TAGC to help tackle emerging infectious diseases on a global scale using a transdisciplinary skillset including genomics, epidemiology, and microbiology. Funded by the OneZoo CDT which focuses on the OneHealth directive.

I graduated from Veterinary School and got my PhD in Tropical Medicne from Mahidol University in Thailand. Currently, I have worked as a lecturer in Medical School in Chulabhorn Royal Academy in Thailand and deal mostly with the pathogenic bacteria in both teaching and research focusing on antibiotic resistance of the bacteria.

I graduated with a degree in Medical Technology from Khon Kaen University, Thailand. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, at the same university. My research focuses on bioinformatics, particularly bacterial genomics. Since 2019, I have been working on the genomic analysis of Burkholderia pseudomallei, a highly adaptable and pathogenic bacterium responsible for melioidosis.
