Senior🎓
Top SchoolEvguenia Kopylova is a computational biologist and entrepreneur with 12 years of experience building software and analytics for clinical microbiome and metabolome data. As Co-Founder and CEO of Clarity Genomics and co-founder of Arome Science, she leads development of longitudinal microbiome–metabolome analytics, machine learning biomarker discovery, and predictive diagnostics for clinical research. Her academic career includes postdoctoral work at UC San Diego and University of Colorado Boulder, where she developed algorithms for sequence clustering, HGT detection, and noise-removal tools like deblur, and integrated SortMeRNA into the widely used QIIME microbiome pipeline. She blends deep algorithmic expertise (PhD in Computer Science) with hands-on engineering and cloud-based bioinformatics workflows, enabling large-cohort analyses such as TCGA microbiome profiling. Based in metropolitan France, she uniquely bridges open-source contributions to flagship microbiome tools with product-focused clinical analytics.

Contributions summary:Evguenia implemented a new option (`sortmerna`) for OTU picking, introducing functionality to utilize SortMeRNA within the QIIME framework. This involved modifying the `pick_otus.py` script to incorporate SortMeRNA, including parameter validation and integration with the existing OTU picking methods. Further contributions included adding a function to build the database and incorporating additional parameters such as coverage and best alignments, thereby expanding the capabilities of the QIIME pipeline for microbiome analysis.
