Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLaura Luebbert is a computational biologist and Eric and Wendy Schmidt Fellow at the Broad Institute, specializing in transcriptomics, machine learning, and viral genomics. With a PhD from Caltech and six years of experience across leading labs, she combines deep academic training with hands-on tool development, including creating and maintaining the popular bioinformatics utility gget (gget.bio). Currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Sabeti lab and an associate in Harvard’s Organismic and Evolutionary Biology department, she translates pathogen sequencing data into actionable biological insight. Her work sits at the intersection of AI-for-Science and infectious disease surveillance, reflected in a FutureHouse fellowship focused on scalable ML for research. Notably, she bridges European and U.S. research traditions, having studied in Leiden and Germany before her U.S. training, which informs a collaborative, multilingual approach to open-source science.
