Details

Role Interpretation Lead (Bioinformatics)
Research area Genomic Medicine
Katrina's background encompasses training in developmental and molecular biology, which provided a strong foundation in rare disease research before my transition into the field of bioinformatics.

This initial grounding gave her the knowledge to understand challenges from both the biological and developmental perspectives of rare disease research, as well as a solid understanding of sample processing, molecular biology and the downstream bioinformatics implications.

She collaborates closely with experts across MCRI, with a primary focus on complex analysis to find a diagnosis. She applies her skills toward improving bioinformatics pipelines to increase diagnostic rates across all rare diseases.
