Magali Richard was initially trained in biology (experimental genetics and cell biology). During her postdoc, she joined a multidisciplinary team made up of biologists, computer scientists and statisticians to learn how to develop biostatistical approaches to analyse high-throughput omic data. Then she became interested in the evolution of tumor as a complex heterogeneous ecosystem. In 2025, she joined the LIG (team ’APTIKAL’) as a CNRS researcher to tackle this question through the development of novel dedicated computational approaches.
