Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJudith Pijuan is a staff bioinformatician based in Zurich with eight years of experience applying computational biology to infectious diseases and human health. With a PhD in Biostatistics and a summa cum laude Master’s in Bioinformatics from Bern, she blends rigorous statistical training with hands-on genomics work—from CRISPR-Cas9 screen analysis to metagenomic 16S pipelines. Her trajectory crosses engineering and physics foundations, early R&D internships at ABB, and international science programs, giving her a rare mix of quantitative breadth and practical lab-aware bioinformatics. At the University of Zurich’s Institute of Medical Virology she now focuses on translational analyses that inform clinical research, while retaining a collaborative, service-oriented approach developed during postdoctoral and graduate roles. Notably, she pairs deep domain expertise with engineering problem-solving habits born from industrial engineering and optics projects, enabling robust, reproducible computational solutions.
