Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElston D'souza is a genomics researcher and DPhil student in Clinical Medicine at the University of Oxford with a decade of experience applying computational biology and large-scale genomic data to improve interpretation of rare genetic diseases. His current work probes evolutionary pressure on non-coding variants at the Computational Rare Disease Genomics Lab, bridging population genetics, biochemistry and structural biology to illuminate understudied pathogenic mechanisms. Previously a research assistant investigating start-loss variants and a visiting scientist at Garvan, he combines rigorous academic training with practical R&D experience. As co-founder of TNK2, he also translates human-factors and behavioural science into cybersecurity products, demonstrating an unusual dual focus on genomic medicine and digital safety. This interdisciplinary blend gives him a rare perspective on risk—both biological and cyber—and a track record of turning complex data into actionable insights.
