Jiri Benacek

Research Assistant

Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology

Areas Of Expertise:

Python, Matlab, Data visualisation, Big data, Machine learning, Statistical analysis, Experimental design, Sensitive data, Research data ethics, Data protection and research

My background is neuropsychology, and later, computational neuroscience. During my studies, I developed strong skills in applied data science and machine learning, as well as fundamental knowledge of neural computation. Currently, I am based in the Cambridge Centre for Neuropsychiatric Research, where our team is working on biomarker discovery for neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as on developing algorithms for more data-informed diagnostics in mental healthcare.

Biography

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.
