Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSara Pulit is a Senior Scientist II and former assistant professor with a decade of experience applying statistical genetics, bioinformatics, and machine learning to large-scale human genomic data. She has led and contributed to translational genomics programs across academia and industry—from Project MinE and the Broad Institute collaborations to genomics teams at Vertex and BioMarin—focusing on fine-mapping GWAS loci and inferring disease mechanisms. Her work spans eQTL, ChIP-Seq, Hi-C integration and whole-genome analyses, and she has a track record of mentoring PhD students and winning competitive awards such as a Veni fellowship. Based in the Greater Oxford area, Sara combines rigorous academic training (PhD in Statistical Genetics) with hands-on drug-development genomics in the clinic-preparation space. Colleagues describe her as intensely curious about the human genome (and, less formally, politics and pasta), reflecting a breadth of interests that fuel interdisciplinary thinking.
