Summary
Catherine Chaput is a senior research scientist and data-driven biologist based in Berlin with over 15 years of experience at the intersection of infectious disease research and machine learning. She has led multidisciplinary projects from wet-lab setup and labeled data collection to statistical and gene-expression analyses, bridging hands-on lab work (Charité, Pasteur, Max Planck) with applied ML roles (Mushlabs, Piavita, NEC Labs Europe). Catherine focuses on unlocking multi-parametric disease signals that are often lost in traditional reductionist analyses, advocating for data science to reveal complex biological patterns. She has practical experience deploying deep learning for behavioral tracking and has contributed ML support to pandemic response efforts, demonstrating both research rigor and rapid problem-solving in high-stakes settings. Rare among peers, she combines formal training in microbiology (PhD) with recent deep learning and data science certificates, enabling fluent translation between experimental design and computational modeling.
