Dr. Liliana Florea is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the McKusick-Nathans Department of Genetic Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, where she specializes in developing computational methods for analyzing large-scale sequencing data to better understand the molecular mechanisms of diseases. Her research focuses on genome comparison, gene characterization, alternative splicing variations, and identifying genetic and molecular determinants of disease. Before joining Johns Hopkins in 2011, Dr. Florea was on the faculty at George Washington University and was a key member of the team at Celera Genomics that produced the first human genome sequence. Her work has earned her a Sloan Research Fellowship in Computational and Evolutionary Molecular Biology, with funding from the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health. She holds a PhD from Pennsylvania State University.
