Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeonor Busó is a molecular epidemiologist and principal investigator with a decade of experience applying pathogen genomics and phylodynamic methods to public-health threats. After a PhD focused on Legionella, she advanced genomic surveillance of Neisseria species at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the Big Data Institute, combining high-throughput sequencing analysis with phylogeography. Now leading a Miguel Servet-funded research program at Fisabio, she studies genomic mechanisms of virulence and antibiotic resistance to inform public health interventions. Leonor is skilled at bridging collaborative, multidisciplinary teams across research institutes and health agencies to translate complex genomic data into actionable insights. Her work uniquely blends deep methodological expertise in evolutionary genomics with hands-on public health bioinformatics experience in both research and applied surveillance settings. Based in Valencia, she maintains an international profile shaped by long-term stints at leading UK genomics centers.
