Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLauren Lui is a computational biologist and research scientist at Berkeley Lab with nine years of experience applying metagenomics and RNA bioinformatics to environmental microbiomes. She leads efforts to improve long-read assembly and analysis (Nanopore, PacBio) for projects like the San Francisco Estuary microbiome to link microbial community structure to elemental cycling in California. Her work blends high-throughput sequencing, comparative genomics, and molecular experiments, rooted in a PhD that uncovered small RNA functions and included culturing extremophiles that "breathe" sulfur at boiling temperatures. Passionate about predictive biology, she develops methods to forecast microbial interactions and metabolic outputs directly from DNA, bridging ecological theory and computational innovation. Based in Berkeley, she combines deep domain expertise in archaeal and extremophile biology with hands-on bioinformatics tool development.
