Mia Le

Mia Le is a Research Associate at the University of Hamburg, affiliated with the Department of Computational Systems Biology (CoSyBio) within the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences. She is a PhD candidate involved in a collaborative project on Nanopore sequencing between CoSyBio and the Outbreak Preparedness and Response (OPR) group at the Bernhard-Nocht-Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM). Her research focuses on genome dynamics of hemorrhagic fever viruses, particularly defective viral genomes.

Education:

• Master’s in Bioinformatics, University of Hamburg
• Bachelor’s in Biotechnology, Technical University of Braunschweig

Her work includes developing the CAMI tool for disease module identification during her master’s and analyzing time-series sequencing data of influenza A virus defective interfering particles for her thesis. Current projects emphasize Nanopore sequencing applications in viral genomics.
