Doctor Julia Carrasco Zanini Sanchez

Julia Carrasco-Zanini Sanchez is a postdoctoral researcher in computational genomics and multiomics at Queen Mary’s new Precision Healthcare University Research Institute (PHURI). Julia did her undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences at the National Autonomous University in Mexico. She later received her PhD from the University of Cambridge, as part of the Wellcome Trust MRes + PhD programme in Metabolic and Cardiovascular disease. Her thesis focused on the use of broad-capture plasma proteomic technologies for the development of sparse predictive protein signatures and for the identification of candidate causal targets. Julia is now interested in how integration of multiomics with electronic health records can be applied to improve targeted screening, prediction and prognostic strategies for a diverse range of common and rare diseases.
