Professor Claudia Langenberg, MSc Dr med PhD FFPH

Profile

Claudia leads teams in London (PHURI) and Berlin (BIH) and is consultant of public health at the Department of Health and Social Care and Barts Health NHS Trust, London. Her research is focused on the genetic regulation of human metabolism and her work has transformed the use and integration of large-scale, high-resolution molecular and clinical data to systematically characterize genetic effects across organs, tissues and cells and advance our understanding of the causes of diverse human diseases (www.omicscience.org). 

Claudia is a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and has been named in the Best Female Scientists in the World Ranking since 2022.
