Elena Tonin

Elena Tonin is a Doctoral Assistant and PhD student in the Doctoral Program in Biotechnology and Bioengineering at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the School of Life Sciences and the Institute of Bioengineering. She works under the supervision of Prof. Naef in the UPNAE research unit, focusing on systems and computational biology.

Education:

• Currently pursuing a Doctoral Degree in Biotechnology and Bioengineering at EPFL.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of biology and quantitative modeling, with a focus on understanding complex biological systems through computational approaches. The work in the Prof. Naef Group emphasizes the dynamics of gene expression, circadian rhythms, and neural coding using mathematical and statistical models.

The absence of published articles in the provided text prevents a detailed trend analysis; however, the research environment suggests strong emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches combining experimental data with theoretical modeling in life sciences.

Scientific Awards:

• No awards mentioned in available text.

Advising and Grants:

• No formal advisees listed; as a doctoral student, she is likely mentored rather than supervising others.
• No specific grants mentioned, though doctoral assistantships at EPFL are typically funded through institutional or research council grants.

Labs and Research Teams:

Elena is a member of the Prof. Naef Group (UPNAE), a research team dedicated to understanding information processing in biological systems, particularly through the lens of dynamical systems theory and stochastic modeling. The lab is part of the broader Institute of Bioengineering at EPFL, which fosters interdisciplinary research in life sciences.
