Contact Dr Alexey Larionov
Background
Initially educated as a medical doctor in Russia (in 1992) I became interested in translational biomedical research and completed a PhD studying mechanisms and markers of endocrine resistance in breast cancer (in 1997). Supported by the Royal Society grant, I did my postdoctoral fellowship in Edinburgh University. Working with data-rich experimental methods (qPCR, microarrays, NGS) I became interested in data analysis and switched to bioinformatics. After completion of MSc in Applied Bioinformatics (2012, Cranfield University) I worked as a bioinformatician in Cambridge University, focusing on NGS data analysis and heritable predisposition to cancer. Since 2021 I am a Lecturer in Bioinformatics in Cranfield University.
Along with the research I am involved in teaching (supervision, lecturing and marking), and I am a Fellow of The Higher Education Academy (UK).
