My research is focused on using genomics and machine learning techniques to gain insights into genome function and organisation. I was recently awarded an 8-year Wellcome Career Development Award. My research programme is focused on data-driven approaches to better understand genome regulation, with a specific focus on the role of hidden features, such as codon usage, in gene regulation. I am also leading a computational team within the Hannon lab, working on fine-mapping how the piRNA pathway, a small RNA-based immune system, recognises and represses transposable elements in animal germ cells.Website: www.sblab.ukTwitter: https://twitter.com/sus_boGoogle Scholar: https://scholar.google.se/citations?user=H-L8KAEAAAAJ
