Dr Dmitri Mouradov is a bioinformatician in the Sieber Laboratory at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI). He received his PhD from the University of Queensland in 2008, exploring hybrid biochemical/bioinformatics strategies to 3D protein structure prediction. He then joined the Ludwig Colon Cancer Initiative Laboratory, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, as a clinical bioinformatician before taking up a postdoctoral fellow position at WEHI. Dr Mouradov’s research focuses on integrated bioinformatics analyses of large-scale “omic” datasets for human colorectal cancer to define disease molecular subtypes and pathways of tumourigenesis, and to identify novel biomarkers for tumour prognosis and therapy response.
