- Biography
Lara obtained her PhD in statistical genomics from EMBL-EBI, EMBL, and the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, in 2019. As an independent Humboldt Research Fellow in New Zealand, Lara then combined this expertise with her background in ecology, and applied genomics and machine learning in the context of nature conservation. In 2022, Lara obtained a Helmholtz Principal Investigator Grant to start her own research group at the Helmholtz AI Institute as a faculty member of the Technical University of Munich; her research group now leverages genomics and AI to better understand One Health.
