She is looking forward to learning more about infectious diseases and transmission dynamics and being more involved in the public health setting
Kathryn Murie
Kathryn is an associate specialist leading the Bioinformatics team at the EPPIcentre. After finishing her Master’s in Physics at the University of Edinburgh, Kathryn followed her interest in bioinformatics to the Wellcome Sanger Institute, where she worked for 4 years. Here, she focused on the end-to-end genomic surveillance of malaria parasites. Now, Kathryn is excited to deepen her understanding of malaria epidemiology and explore how actionable information can be extracted to make a meaningful impact on global health.
