Senior🎓
Top SchoolElly Poretsky is a computational and molecular biologist with 11 years of experience translating multi-omic data into accurate protein function predictions for crops. Currently an ORISE post-doc at USDA GrainGenes, she applies Protein Language Models and AlphaFold2-predicted structures to improve annotations in small grains. Her work blends Python and R tool development with hands-on genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analysis, reflecting a rare combination of algorithmic ML expertise and wet-lab-informed biological insight. Trained with a PhD from UC San Diego and a bachelor’s from The Open University of Israel, she focuses on agricultural biotechnology and crop protection while pushing structural bioinformatics into practical breeding and protection pipelines. An understated strength is her ability to operationalize cutting-edge protein structure models into reproducible analysis apps that accelerate discovery for plant science stakeholders.
