Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMariana Pereira is a Senior Principal Scientist based in London with nine years of focused experience at the intersection of oncology, bioinformatics, and large-scale genomic analysis. She has led whole genome sequencing (WGS) variant-calling efforts at GSK and prior to that developed somatic-data workflows and pharma-facing consultancy projects at Genomics England for the 100,000 Genomes Project. Her background blends a PhD in mathematical statistics/bioinformatics with hands-on postdoctoral work in tumour and plasma WGS, giving her deep expertise in structural variant and copy-number analysis. Mariana pairs statistical rigor and pipeline engineering with practical drug-discovery impact, and she’s known for translating high-dimensional genomic and emerging proteomic data into actionable biological insights. An often-overlooked strength is her long-standing experience applying Six Sigma and industrial statistics early in her career, which informs her emphasis on robust, reproducible analysis pipelines.
