Marina Katava

I'm the CEO of A51.
We're building a molecular toolkit that allows us to program and scale biology.
My background is in computational biophysics. I hold a PhD from Sorbonne University and I spent more than a decade developing numerical models and algorithms to tackle hard biological problems related to genetic sequences, proteins, and epigenetics. I worked in France, the US, Germany, and Switzerland.
Following my research career, I worked as a business consultant at McKinsey in the Paris office, where I advised biotech and pharma companies.
I was a Marie Curie fellow, Lindau-Nobel fellow, and a L'Oréal/UNESCO fellow.
I focus exclusively on solving the most complex, high-impact problems at the interface of biology and computation.
