Contact Dr Alexey Larionov
Background
Alexey Larionov has more than 15 years of experience in applied bioinformatics, with expertise and track record in analysis of a wide range of sequencing data types (including genomics, transcriptomics and metagenomics). Initially educated as a medical doctor in Russia (1992, Bachelor in Medicine recognised by UK NARIC), Alexey became interested in translational research and completed a PhD studying mechanisms and markers of endocrine resistance in breast cancer (1997, Russia, recognised by UK NARIC). Supported by the Royal Society grant, Alexey did his postdoctoral fellowship in Edinburgh University. Working with data-rich experimental methods (qPCR, microarrays, NGS) he became interested in data analysis and switched to bioinformatics. After completion of MSc in Applied Bioinformatics (2012, Â鶹´«Ã½AV) Alexey worked as a bioinformatician in Cambridge University, focusing on NGS data analysis and heritable predisposition to cancer. Since 2021 Alexey is a Lecturer in Bioinformatics in Â鶹´«Ã½AV. Currently, AL teaches Python, epigenetics, proteomics and metagenomics analysis in Applied Bioinformatics MSc course in Â鶹´«Ã½AV, supervises PDRA and PhD students. Alexey is a co-investigator in NERC (Restoring Resilient Ecosystems, NE/V006444/1) and BBSRC (Developing a resilient and regenerative tea production system, BB/Y003241/1) grants. Alexey is a Fellow of The Higher Education Academy (UK). See more details at http://larionov.co.uk
