Summary
Maria Litovchenko is a London-based senior bioinformatician with 11 years’ experience applying genomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics and statistical genetics to both model organisms and human data. With a PhD in Computational and Quantitative Biology from EPFL, she combines rigorous quantitative training with hands-on research roles across academia and industry, including senior scientific posts at UCL Cancer Institute and Biofidelity. Maria is known for disciplined, reproducible workflows and a strong commitment to raising team standards for data quality and reproducibility. She focuses on translating complex -omics analyses into impact for human health and healthcare systems, and brings practical experience moving projects from discovery to translational contexts. Less obvious: her background in applied physics and mathematics underpins a comfort with heavy computational and statistical challenges that she leverages to tackle noisy biological data.
