Summary
Liana Lareau is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at UC Berkeley with a decade of experience at the interface of computational biology, machine learning, and RNA design. Trained in mathematics, biology, and molecular & cell biology (MIT SB, UC Berkeley PhD), she applies ML to engineer mRNA sequences and decipher RNA-mediated regulation, bringing quantitative rigor to experimental systems. Her trajectory spans distinguished fellowships and postdoctoral work in leading labs, blending deep computational skills with hands-on molecular biology. Based in San Francisco, she runs research that translates algorithmic insights into wet-lab advances, often revealing non-obvious sequence features that impact mRNA function.
