Jacob Halatek, PhD Microsoft Research Cambridge

Jacob Halatek obtained a PhD in Statistical and Biological Physics from the LMU Munich, Germany, in 2017. His main area of expertise is quantitative modelling of complex biological systems, specifically intracellular protein dynamics and self-organisation.

Following a one-year Postdoc at the LMU, Jacob joined Microsoft Research Cambridge as a Researcher in 2018 to work on Station B – a platform for programming biology.

His research aims to integrate state-of-the-art machine learning methods and mechanistic modelling approaches to facilitate predictive and quantitative modelling on an industrial scale.
