“I’m not trying to do science just for scientists. I’m doing it to try to solve important problems that will make a difference”: Jussi Taipale on genomics at scale and predicting gene expression
Professor Jussi Taipale joined the Wellcome Sanger Institute in January this year as a Senior Group Leader in the Generative and Synthetic Genomics Programme. His ambition? To predict gene expression directly from DNA sequence. In this blog, he reflects on his international research journey, how biology is scaling up, and why his research group aims to solve one of the biggest puzzles in genomics.
