Summary
Alise Ponsero is a bioinformatician with nine years of interdisciplinary experience bridging wet-lab molecular biology and computational metagenomics, currently providing core bioinformatics support at the Quadram Institute. She holds a PhD in cellular and molecular biology and a second master’s in computer science, and has led method and database development for large-scale metagenomic and viral sequence analysis at the University of Arizona and Helsinki. Her work spans infant gut microbiome and virome research, FAIR data practices, and hands-on management of complex cohort datasets such as HELMi. Passionate about Open Science, she has taught undergraduates about open research principles while translating that ethos into reproducible pipelines and data infrastructures. A practical scientist fluent in both bench techniques and bioinformatics, she excels at turning messy biological data into trustworthy, reusable resources.
