Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnna Zhukova is a group leader and computational biologist with 15 years of experience applying algorithmic and mathematical methods to understand pathogen transmission and evolution. Based in Paris, she develops novel phylogenetic methods, tools and mathematical models to answer practical epidemiological questions—from tracing SARS-CoV-2 introductions to quantifying onward transmission of drug-resistant HIV-1 and the impact of sanitation on cholera. Her background spans academic research and engineering roles at Institut Pasteur and ENS, combining a PhD in computer science with hands-on software development in bioinformatics and simulation tools. Known for bridging theory and application, she brings rigorous modeling and software craftsmanship to public-health genomics, often turning complex sequence data into actionable insights for outbreak investigation.
