Dr. Maria Colomé Tatché

Biography

Maria Colomé-Tatché is a Professor of Functional Genomics in the Department of Physiological Chemistry at the Biomedical Center, LMU Munich. With extensive experience in computational biology, her research focuses on computational epigenetics, particularly in understanding how epigenomes emerge and how stable epigenetic changes can lead to phenotypic variations. She aims to answer key scientific questions by developing computational methods and mathematical models to identify the regions of the epigenome that are altered under various conditions in large populations of single cells. Her academic career includes significant positions such as Senior Group Leader at the Institute of Computational Biology (ICB) at Helmholtz Center Munich, where she led a Helmholtz Young Investigator Group, and as a Rosalind Franklin Fellow at the European Research Institute for Biology of Ageing (ERIBA) at the University Medical Centre Groningen. Colomé-Tatché has a robust background in theoretical physics, having earned her PhD focusing on statistical models from the University of Paris Saclay, France. Throughout her career, she has published numerous influential papers and contributed significantly to advancing the field of epigenetics.
