Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimone Procaccia is a computational biologist and PhD student at EMBL with eight years of research experience spanning single-cell genomics, epigenomics, and cancer transcriptomics. With a strong quantitative foundation—Bachelor’s in Bioinformatics and a Master’s in Quantitative and Computational Biology—she applies machine learning and high-dimensional statistics to developmental biology questions. Her trajectory includes fellowships and internships at institutions such as Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Institut Pasteur, where she investigated epigenetic inheritance and cancer signaling. Fluent in cross-cultural research from an early exchange in Deyang, Sichuan, she brings a pragmatic hacker mentality to bioinformatics (self-described “100% grass-fed bio-informatician”) and a knack for turning complex genomic data into interpretable models.
