PhD student at EMBL-EBI & University of Cambridge | enthusiast for mathematical modelling and genomics in pathogen and cancer evolution
- Reposted by Leonie LorenzMeet Leonie Johanna Lorenz 🇩🇪, a Predoctoral Fellow at EMBL-EBI who is bringing mathematical modelling to microbes. Find out more about how Leonie’s passion for modelling patterns extends from bacterial evolution to sewing 🧵 www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/p...

- Very happy to share our preprint on a mathematical model for Streptococcus pneumoniae population dynamics after vaccine introductions. It's a reusable model that describes vaccine replacement dynamics and can help to determine strategies for genomic surveillance: doi.org/10.64898/2025.12.18.695090
- Reposted by Leonie LorenzHappy to share our new AMR resource which has phenotypic AMR (usually MIC data) collected from publications and databases. This is paired with assemblies and annotations We're excited for users who might train new models, find phenotype/genotype mismatches, or any other use
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing health threat, making infections harder to treat and complicating routine medical care. EMBL-EBI’s new AMR portal brings together laboratory resistance data and bacterial genomes in one open platform. #WAAW2025 #ActOnAMR www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/t... 🧬💻
- Reposted by Leonie LorenzDo you like theoretical biology, mathematical&conceptual modelling and want to apply yourself to cutting-edge research at all levels of biology, from molecules to ecosystems? Come to EMBL! Scope includes physics-based models, emergence, statistics, ML/AI embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/j...
- Reposted by Leonie LorenzThank you to everyone who joined us this week for the @embo.org Practical Course 'Methods for infectious disease modelling using genomics'. Join us for 2026's EMBO Practical Course. Sign up for 'Causality in biomedicine' alerts and hear as this new course develops: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/eve... 🧬🧫
- Open PhD position in our lab for starting roughly in September 2026. Cannot recommend this lab enough!!! 🦠🖥️ #MathematicalModelling #BacterialGenomics #Bioinformatics
- The EMBL PhD programme is open until 13th October (entry ~Sep 2026): www.embl.org/about/info/e... We have three positions in microbial genomics at EMBL-EBI, including one in my group. Please do apply, or if you know anyone that would be interested pass on to them
- Reposted by Leonie LorenzMathematical models in biology are powerful, but often hard to run, visualise, or reuse without specialist skills. Menelmacar is a new platform that makes biological models interactive and easy to explore directly in the browser: biomodels.bacpop.org 🧬💻
- Very happy to announce that my first first-author paper just got published in Bioinformatics! We developed the web-application Menelmacar that displays differential equation models from @biomodels.bsky.social in the browser - it's beautiful and interactive! doi.org/10.1093/bioi...

- Very happy and proud to announce that the first preprint of my PhD is out: arxiv.org/abs/2504.20710 We developed an R package to translate mathematical models in SBML format into executable odin models and visualise models from @biomodels.bsky.social on our website Menelmacar biomodels.bacpop.org
