Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoberto Bonelli is a Principal Scientist leading the Data Science and Bioinformatics Group at Lowy Medical Research Institute with nine years of experience in multi-omics, statistical genetics, and retinal disease research. He designs and executes high-dimensional integrative studies—spanning genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, radiomics and phenomics—to uncover disease mechanisms, prioritize therapeutic targets, and enable patient stratification for precision ophthalmology. A PhD-trained statistical geneticist with a track record at institutions like the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and CSL, he combines rigorous statistics with practical translational workflows that leverage major biobanks (UK Biobank, GTEx, dbGaP). He mentors multidisciplinary teams, standardizes analytical pipelines, and has directly influenced clinical trial direction through genetic discoveries in a rare retinal disorder. Based in San Diego, Roberto blends deep quantitative expertise with hands-on computational tool development and a knack for communicating complex results to diverse scientific and clinical audiences.
