Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah Cherkaoui is a postdoctoral research fellow with 12 years of experience applying computational biology and systems-level analysis to cancer metabolism and precision oncology. Trained at ETH Zürich and Université de Montréal, she blends deep omics integration, metabolomics, and bioinformatics to extract actionable biological insights and drive data-driven research. Her work spans top labs at Princeton, Kinderspital Zürich, Gustave Roussy and leading metabolomics centers, supported by a Swiss National Science Foundation fellowship. Known for building practical computational tools—such as a gene-metabolite linking tool during her early metabolomics work—she helps translate complex datasets into experimental hypotheses. Collaborative by nature, she thrives at the interface of wet lab and computation, mentoring colleagues and contributing to multidisciplinary projects. Based in Zurich, she is passionate about advancing biotechnology and pediatric cancer research through rigorous, reproducible data science.
