Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFerdinando Insalata is a computational biologist and applied mathematician with eight years’ experience at the intersection of stochastic modelling, Bayesian statistics and AI for biomedical research and public health. He holds a PhD from Imperial College London and combines joint postdoctoral roles at Imperial and the University of Cambridge investigating how mitochondrial genomics drives ageing and neurodegeneration using single-cell stochastic models. Concurrently a Senior Statistician at the UK Health Security Agency, he has led large-scale real-world analyses for COVID immunity studies, including first-author work in the New England Journal of Medicine. His background spans industrial deep learning—accelerating convolutional hardware and building transformer and segmentation models—and academic statistical physics, giving him a rare blend of theoretical depth and production-facing AI experience. Multilingual and internationally mobile, he also volunteers as a tutor and mentor and brings a persistent curiosity that connects rigorous maths to tangible public-health impact.
