MEET OUR TEAM

We believe that diversity is one of our strengths. Over the last few years the lab consisted of people from many nations (UK, USA, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, China, Malaysia, Japan, Australia, India, and Sri Lanka) and from different scientific disciplines (computer science, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, physics, machine learning, bioinformatics, computational biology, natural sciences, biochemistry, pathology, virology, immunology, biotechnology, genomics, cancer biology and medicine). The lab fosters an environment where everyone is treated equally and with respect. Creativity, mentorship and cross-disciplinary and translational thinking is actively encouraged.
