Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClaudia Calabrese is a Staff Bioinformatics Scientist with 11 years of experience blending molecular biology, human genetics, and advanced computational methods to interpret genomic variation, particularly in cancer. With a PhD in Human Genetics and a strong track record at EMBL-EBI, University of Cambridge, and Illumina, she combines GWAS, mitochondrial genomics, long-read sequencing, and statistical genetics to tackle complex genomic questions. Currently focused on applying deep learning to cancer genomes, she brings both wet-lab grounding and rigorous quantitative skill to production-focused bioinformatics. Based in Cambridge and originally from Italy, she is experienced at translating large-scale pancancer analyses into actionable insights, and is known for developing statistical approaches that link mtDNA variation to gene expression—an angle that often reveals subtle regulatory effects missed by standard pipelines.
