Chair Professor, Computational Biology, UCL
I'm and infectious disease epidemiologist and microbial geneticist. I work at University College London as a Professor of Computational Genetics and as the Director of the UCL Genetics Institute, UCL's big genetic data hub.
I studied at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and obtained a Masters and PhD from the same institution in 1996, and 2000, respectively. I then spent two years in Edinburgh as a postdoc.
In 2002, I was offered a lectureship in the Department of Genetics in Cambridge where I stayed for five years. I moved to the newly formed MRC Centre for Outbreak Analysis and Modelling within the Department of Infectious disease epidemiology at Imperial College London in 2007.
I joined the UCL Genetics Institute (UGI) as a professor of Computational Systems Biology in 2012 and became Director of the Institute in 2015.
