Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatricia Agudelo-Romero is a Senior Research Fellow in bioinformatics with nine years of experience decoding virus–host–microbiome interactions to understand respiratory and immune disease. She leads multidisciplinary computational projects at The University of Western Australia and Telethon Kids Institute, integrating metagenomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics and systems biology to study asthma, cystic fibrosis and early-life microbial colonisation. Patricia developed EVEREST, an open-source virome discovery and analysis platform (Snakemake and Nextflow implementations) used to catalogue viral and phage genomes and probe virus–bacteria dynamics in airway datasets. Her background spans plant virology to human clinical metagenomics, giving her a rare perspective on viral emergence, adaptation and host responses. Passionate about mentoring and translating discovery into impact, she combines rigorous computational methods with experimental collaborations to reveal how early viral colonisation shapes long-term respiratory health.
