Alice McHardy
Alice Carolyn McHardy (* 1977 in Frankfurt am Main , Hessen ) is a German-British bioinformatician and professor of bioinformatics .
Life
At the University of Bielefeld McHardy studied from 1995 biochemistry . After graduating in 2000, she worked as a research assistant at the Center for Biotechnology at Bielefeld University; there she received her doctorate in bioinformatics in 2004.
From 2005 onwards she worked as a postdoc in the working group for bioinformatics and pattern recognition at the IBM research center in Yorktown Heights (USA). There, her research focus was on researching the evolution of the flu virus with the aim of predicting the next virus strain through theoretical simulations and thus predicting the appropriate vaccine selection in good time.
In 2007 she moved to the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science Saarbrücken, where she headed the research group "Computational Genomics and Epidemiology". In parallel, she taught bioinformatics and genome research at Saarland University . In December 2009 McHardy was appointed to the chair for Algorithmic Bioinformatics at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf to research the development of bioinformatics methods for the analysis of metagenomes ; she has since left the chair and has been heading the bioinformatics department of infection research at the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research since April 1, 2014 .
