Summary
Misa Ogura is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer based in London with a decade of experience bridging biomedical research and production-grade ML systems. Currently at GSK.AI, she builds agent systems that combine LLM reasoning with experimental data to accelerate oligonucleotide drug discovery, and previously applied graph ML and explainable deep learning to biomedical knowledge graphs for drug repurposing at Healx. Her background spans research software engineering at the BBC, biomedical research at Cancer Research UK, and full-stack development roles, giving her a rare fluency across lab, data and product environments. An open-source maintainer of Flashtorch, she focuses on interpretability, explainability and bias in convolutional models—reflecting a consistent interest in making ML both trustworthy and actionable for scientific problems.
