Qi received her PhD at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she developed computational methods to study alternative splicing and the evolution of HIV. Later she joined the UCLA Division of Dermatology to help identify the resistance mechanisms of targeted cancer therapies using computational tools. 
    
In 2011 she was awarded the Humboldt Research Fellowship to work in the Division of Theoretical Bioinformatics, and later the Division of Applied Bioinformatics, at the German Cancer Research Centre. There she worked on diverse bioinformatics projects with NGS data, such as studying genome-wide epigenetic regulation of cell differentiation, developing sequencing protocols and detecting somatic mutations from whole-genome sequencing data, as well as data integration and predictive modelling. 
    
Currently, she provides bioinformatics training and support to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in the lab of Professor Beverley Glover.

Providing bioinformatics support to ~30 research groups in the Centre for Trophoblast Research (CTR).

Swati is a Research Assistant in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Currently, her research focuses primarily on understanding the temporal structure of pain through behavioral assessment of chronic pain patients. In addition to her research, she actively participates in mentorship initiatives such as Google’s WomenTechmaker Program. Prior to joining Nox lab, she worked with collaborators from Mayo Clinic, Oxford University, and Accenture Research Lab. 

Yasmin Fathy is a Research Associate at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Before joining Cambridge, she was a Software Developer at Genomics Analytics Group at European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), Research Associate in IoT and Machine Learning at Cambridge University, and a KTP Research Associate in Data Science and Machine Learning at UCL. She obtained her PhD from the Institute for Communication Systems (ICS) at the University of Surrey and an MSc in Applied Science and Engineering from the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Belgium. Her research interests include IoT, data analytics, digital twin and applied machine learning.
   
 She is an active reviewer and a technical program committee member for multidisciplinary and international journals and conferences, including CCNC, The Web Conference (WWW), IEEE Systems, IEEE IoT Journal, IEEE Transactions on Big Data, and IEEE Access. She is a Topic Editorial in Frontiers in Big Data: Women in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Initiative, a Data Champion at the University of Cambridge and a member of the Cambridge Centre for Data-Driven Discovery (C2D3). She was a BSF (Become a Science Founder) Fellow for entrepreneurship scientists in 2021 and was awarded MEDASTAR Erasmus Mundus and University of Surrey scholarships.
   
Yasmin is also a volunteer mentor for supporting students with soft & English skills development at Manara and a volunteer instructor at Code First Girls (CFGs).
