Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLoubna Youssar is a bioinformatics scientist with eight years of experience combining genomics, transcriptomics, and data science to drive insights in gene therapy and cancer genomics. She currently develops computational tools and analytical workflows at ProtaGene and leads transcriptome-wide mRNA decay analyses at the University of Freiburg to disentangle transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation under stress. Her background spans comparative genomics, secretome annotation of pathogenic fungi, and metagenomic and resistance-determinant studies in clinical microbes, reflecting strong interdisciplinary breadth from wet-lab to computational pipelines. Trained with a PhD in Genetics and advanced bioinformatics credentials, she brings rigorous statistical and machine learning methods to biological questions and a practical knack for turning complex datasets into reproducible workflows. Outside conventional research outputs, she shares science communication via a YouTube channel focused on personalized medicine, highlighting an interest in making genomics accessible.
