Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancesca Giordano is a Lead Data Scientist based in Hove with a PhD in Elementary Particle Physics and over a decade translating complex scientific problems into production-grade ML and bioinformatics solutions. She leads development of tools at ZOE that link gut microbiome metagenomics to dietary patterns, applying large-scale cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis to derive actionable health insights. Her background spans particle physics, genomics sequencing evaluation at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, and applied consulting—building predictive systems for telco failures, gas-network anomaly pipelines, and mobility analytics. Comfortable moving from low-level signal characterisation and Monte Carlo-driven analyses to deploying scalable models, she brings a rare combination of rigorous experimental science and pragmatic engineering. An experienced collaborator across academia and industry, she often bridges wet-lab sequencing strategies and downstream computational pipelines.
