Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMary Maranga is a bioinformatician and postdoctoral researcher based in London with eight years' experience applying computational methods to infectious disease and microbiome research. Currently at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine she develops and modularises Kleborate to accelerate genotyping and genomic surveillance of Klebsiella species. Her PhD and prior roles combined wet-lab experience in pathogen work with hands-on NGS workflows, variant calling and genome assembly, giving her a rare blend of bench-to-byte expertise. She has driven microbiome-focused research during her PhD, exploring therapeutic potential of the gut microbiome, and brings that systems-level perspective to pathogen genomics. Active in academic and open-source lab environments (Holt lab), she emphasises efficient, reusable code and reproducible pipelines that bridge research and public health needs. Colleagues know her for turning complex biological questions into pragmatic computational tools that scale for surveillance.
