Summary
Anna K is a doctoral researcher in human genomics at KU Leuven with nine years of interdisciplinary experience spanning population genomics, bioinformatics, and biotech operations. She focuses on genetic adaptation to extreme cold in Arctic populations, combining genome-wide selection scans with integrative functional analyses (RNA-seq, regulatory annotation) and scalable computational workflows. Her background includes industry-facing roles in biotech investment and infrastructure, plus R&D work on microbial fuel cells and ML-driven strain prediction, reflecting a rare blend of academic rigor and translational insight. Past projects range from comparative genomics of salmon maturation to HMM-based gene prediction across 120 mammals, demonstrating strong computational method development alongside wet-lab–adjacent expertise. Based in Biot, she brings a global research trajectory and practical experience sourcing and coordinating international biotech projects.
