Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmily Thomas is a bioinformatician with nine years of experience applying spatial transcriptomics, single-cell proteomics, and machine learning to complex immunology problems. Currently at the Allen Institute for Immunology, she leads reproducible pipeline development for spatial and single-cell data in an inflammation program focused on pediatric IBD, building on a PhD in Computational Biology from the University of Oxford. Her work has dissected the human bone marrow immune microenvironment and translated spatial image analysis methods into scalable research tools. Past roles at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and contributions to open projects like OpenWorm reflect a mix of large consortium experience and open-source engagement. Colleagues value her ability to bridge computational rigor with biological insight, turning noisy spatial data into interpretable, reproducible results.
