Valeriya Malysheva

Biophysicist by training, Dr. Valeriya Malysheva obtained her PhD in molecular biology and has an extensive dual experimental and computational expertise in the field of nuclear organisation, integrative systems, computational and mathematical biology. During her postdoctoral research at the University of Cambridge and UKRI Laboratory of Medical Sciences, Valeriya developed and patented a novel experimental method for profiling chromosomal interactions in ultra-low input settings. This technology formed the basis of a biotech start-up in Cambridge, Enhanc3D Genomics, which recently secured major series A funding. Valeriya also developed novel statistical methods for detection, differential analysis, and multi-modal integration of chromatin conformation capture techniques. Valeriya’s Computational Neurobiology lab addresses fundamental questions in chromatin organization, epigenetics and brain biology. Her team develops statistical and AI approaches for large-scale data integration and reconstruction of cis-regulatory networks underlying cellular decision-making in health and neurodegenerative disease.
