Dr. Susanne Bornelöv

Biography

Susanne Bornelöv is a researcher in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, focusing on computational genomics and gene regulation. Her research explores the molecular mechanisms that control gene activation and protein production. The Bornelöv Group employs computational methods to study higher layers of information, including codon usage and genome organization. This research aims to elucidate novel regulatory mechanisms, particularly those mediated by codon optimality and mRNA decay. Utilizing Drosophila as a model organism, the group investigates the evolutionary drivers of codon usage bias and the posttranscriptional gene regulatory processes using deep learning models. Bornelöv is committed to advancing the understanding of tRNA and codon co-evolution dynamics in controlling protein homeostasis. She has authored significant publications in the field, contributing to advancements in sequence-based deep learning models and the evolutionary conservation of piRNA clusters, among others.
