Dr Hanna Najgebauer
Alumni
This person is a member of Sanger Institute Alumni.
Within Open Targets, Hanna was responsible for the development of new algorithms and computational tools for optimising the genomic characterization of large panels of cancer in vitro models. This involved the design of scoring methods and assessment routines for evaluating the relevance of immortalised cancer cell lines with respect to matched primary diseases. The aim of her work was to enable researchers to make appropriate informed choices about model inclusion/exclusion in retrospective and future studies, and to identify cancer subtypes currently lacking representative in vitro models.
