Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVincent Plagnol is Chief Scientific Officer at Genomics plc with 14 years of experience translating statistical genetics and applied mathematics into precision health products for pharma and clinical use. Trained at ENS and with a PhD from USC, he built an academic research career at Cambridge and UCL before taking leadership roles at Inivata to develop a circulating tumour DNA diagnostic and then scaling precision-health initiatives at Genomics. He combines deep methodological expertise in statistical genomics with hands-on product delivery, bridging rare-disease genetics, complex trait analysis and commercial biomarker development. Based in Cambridge, he is known for turning large, messy genomics datasets into actionable insights that inform drug design and patient stratification—often by applying non-obvious statistical approaches born of his applied-maths background.
