Senior🎓
Top SchoolIrina Balaur is a Senior Data Scientist based in Luxembourg with a decade of experience bridging computational biology and data engineering in translational research and cancer epigenetics. She has driven multiscale and complex-systems modelling across major EU projects (eTRIKS, CIESCI) and has strong expertise in applying machine learning to biological networks and large-scale database management. Her career moves from industry software development into PhD-driven research and postdoctoral roles reflect a rare combination of production-grade engineering and rigorous academic modelling. Now at the Luxembourg National Data Service, she applies that blend to national-scale data challenges, bringing domain fluency in epigenetics and practical experience turning complex biological models into reusable computational assets.
