Senior🎓
Top SchoolNatasha Latysheva is a Staff Research Engineer based in Cambridge with 11 years of experience applying machine learning to genomics and computational biology. After a PhD in Computational Biology at Cambridge she progressed from research engineer to senior and now staff roles at Google DeepMind, focusing on translating genomics research into ML-driven applications. Her background spans NLP, large-scale data science, and startup prototyping—she co-founded an AI code-review startup during an Entrepreneur First cohort and has applied sequence models to both biological and game-data problems. Comfortable moving between academia, industry research, and product-minded engineering, she brings deep domain knowledge in genomic signals plus practical experience shipping models at scale. An eclectic early career in bioinformatics and teaching grounds her work in rigorous experimentation and clear communication.
