Eleftheria works in the field of Translational Genomics. Her team develops and applies robust statistical and computational tools to integrate information gleaned from deep molecular, genomics and epidemiological approaches to address important biomedical research challenges.
“In 2018 I joined Helmholtz Munich, where I am founding director of the Institute of Translational Genomics. I am interested in dissecting the role of sequence variation in human health and disease by coupling high-throughput sequencing technologies with the study of diverse populations and strategies linking electronic health records to genomics. Our activities are underpinned by the integration of big multi-omics data, and by the development of computational and statistical approaches for the next generation of translational genomics studies.
I am committed to developing early career researchers. I promote diversity and inclusion, and have a strong interest in capacity building.
I am a Liesel Beckmann Distinguished Professor and hold the Chair of Translational Genomics at Technical University of Munich (TUM) School of Medicine.”
