Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Alves is a statistical genomics and bioinformatics researcher with nine years of experience translating genetic variation into mechanistic insights for precision medicine and public health. Based in London, he has led systems-genetics efforts linking genomic risk loci to genes and pathways, with a particular focus on longitudinal phenotypes such as infant and child BMI—where his work uncovered distinct genetic components across early life. He has combined roles in academia and institute leadership (Imperial, King’s, Surrey, Southampton) with core-facility management and interdisciplinary collaborations spanning mathematics and large cohort studies like Born in Bradford. Alex brings practical expertise in post-transcriptional regulatory analysis and metabolomics, and an uncommon blend of machine‑learning training and deep wet‑lab‑adjacent genomics experience that helps bridge discovery and translational targets.
