Dr. Susanne Franssen
Senior Data Scientist
Susanne is a passionate research scientist with more than 15 years of academic research experience in genomics, population genetics, bioinformatics and data science. At ExEd she plays a key role in genomics data analysis, experimental design and science communication.
Bio
Susanne did her undergraduate studies in bioinformatics at the Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, with completing her degree in an international research program including 6 months at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. During her Ph.D. in Münster, Germany, she got involved with genomics and using cutting edge next generation sequencing to discover the transcriptomic signature of stress recovery in seagrasses. Her first postdoc she spent at the Institute of Population Genetics in Vienna, Austria, where she dug deeper into evolutionary genomics complementing genomics analysis with population genetics theory, modelling and simulations. Here, she contributed crucial aspects in understanding genomics signatures of adaptation in experimentally evolving populations. She then moved to the Sanger Institute, Cambridge, UK, working on population genomics of the tropical disease-causing parasite leishmaniasis. She contributed to the understanding of disease transmission and spread through evolutionary genomics analysis. In her most recent position, she pursued her independent research as assistant professor at the Ludwig Maximilian’s University in Munich Germany on Evolutionary and Pathogen Genomics.
