Senior🎓
Top SchoolIrina Kalatskaya is an Associate Scientific Director in Bioinformatics with over a decade of experience translating large-scale genomic data into actionable insights for drug development in immunology and oncology. She has led biomarker discovery and target-prioritization efforts for clinical programs in multiple sclerosis and autoimmune diseases, building interactive R Shiny dashboards and pipelines that integrate billions of public sequencing records. Her background spans hands-on network- and pathway-based algorithm development, clinical-grade sequencing projects, and successful project management of multi-million dollar initiatives that enabled clinical tool adoption. Known for mentoring external researchers and orchestrating cross-disciplinary teams, she blends deep academic training (PhD in Biochemistry) with practical impact across preclinical and clinical stages. A less obvious strength is her track record of turning complex bioinformatics outputs into persuasive deliverables for regulatory and stakeholder decision-making.
