Summary
Susanne Bornelöv is a genomics and machine learning researcher who leads a computational team at Cambridge investigating genome regulation and the piRNA pathway, recently awarded an 8-year Wellcome Career Development Award. With eight years of post-PhD experience across Cambridge and Uppsala, she combines deep bioinformatics expertise with data-driven approaches to uncover hidden regulatory features such as codon usage. As Principal Investigator in the Department of Biochemistry, she bridges method development and biological discovery, fine-mapping how small RNA immune systems recognise transposable elements in germ cells. She maintains an active academic presence (sblab.uk, Google Scholar) and brings a rare blend of computational rigor and biological insight that translates complex genomic signals into testable mechanisms.
