Laura Cantini is a G5 junior group leader heading the Machine Learning for Integrative Genomics group. Mathematician by training, Laura works at the interphase of machine learning and genomics. Due to the advent of high-throughput technologies, multiple large-scale quantitative measurements, a.k.a. omics, can be accessed for the same set of biological samples or cells. The focus of Laura’s research activity is to design machine learning methods able to co-analyze the numerous available omics data and translate them into actionable biological knowledge. Laura is a CNRS research associate and a Prairie chair.
