Summary
Andrea Fossati is an assistant professor and systems biologist with 10 years of experience specializing in mass spectrometry proteomics, computational biology, and multi-omics approaches to biomarker and antibiotic discovery. Based at Karolinska Institutet and SciLifeLab, she leads large-scale, multimodal projects that bridge clinical, academic, and industry partners and has secured over €3M in funding with a demonstrated 10x+ return on start-up investment. Her lab focuses on extending antibiotic lifespans by developing phage cocktails and phage-inspired antimicrobials, translating proteomics and NGS insights into actionable therapeutic leads. Previously at UCSF she led proteomics for pediatric tuberculosis biomarker discovery, producing high-impact publications and a WHO-threshold–meeting plasma biosignature. Trained at ETH Zürich (PhD in Proteomics), she combines hands-on mass-spec expertise with team leadership and a track record of turning complex multi-omics data into translational outcomes.
