Linda Maldera is a PhD student at the coMputational multI-omics of Neurological Disorders (MIND) laboratory, a joint research platform between Politecnico di Milano and Neurological Institute ‘Carlo Besta’. She holds a MSc in Bioinformatics for Computational Genomics (Università degli Studi di Milano and Politecnico di Milano) and a BSc in Physics (Università degli Studi di Milano). Her MSc thesis focused on genome-wide copy number variation analysis to uncover novel risk factors for chronic pain, while her BSc thesis analyzed HIV protein divergence rates using cosmological models.
Linda’s current research explores the link between Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia, using machine learning techniques for multimodal data integration. Her research interests lie in mathematical tools and models applied to clinical practice.
