Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucy Picard is an Assistant Research Fellow and bioinformatician with a decade of experience translating long-read sequencing and epigenetic data into clinically relevant insights for precision oncology. Her PhD and honours work used Oxford Nanopore technology to characterise full-length RNA isoforms and investigate epigenetic effects of BCG treatment in bladder cancer, blending wet-lab expertise with pipeline-focused bioinformatics in Python, R and bash. She has industry experience as a bioinformatics engineer and applies that engineering mindset to develop reproducible workflows for tumour diagnostics, including nanopore solutions for brain cancer. Curious about multi-omic interactions, she excels at tracing how single mutations cascade through molecular systems to alter protein function and cell behavior. An avid learner and occasional machine-learning tinkerer, she values efficiency, remote collaboration, and translating research into precision treatment strategies. Outside the lab she’s engaged in climate and women’s and children’s health issues and enjoys international travel and cultural exploration.
