Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlba Meira is a molecular biologist and postdoctoral fellow with eight years of experience dissecting the genetic and epigenetic drivers of cancer, currently based at the Bernstein Laboratory, Dana-Farber/Harvard and formerly at the University of Oxford. She applies cutting-edge single-cell genomics and epigenomics (scRNA-seq, scDNA-seq, ATAC-seq) alongside bespoke bioinformatic pipelines to characterize heterogeneity in leukemic stem cells driving myeloid leukemias. Alba has a strong track record in grant writing, supervising and training students, and translating complex wet-lab assays into analyzable NGS datasets. Her DPhil in Molecular Hematology and cross-institutional experience in the UK and US underpin a rigorous, hypothesis-driven approach aimed at uncovering how cancer evolves. Colleagues value her creative problem-solving and persistence in tackling technically challenging single-cell questions that bridge bench and computational biology.
