Biography: 
After a career in Biophysics, Dr. Alfredo Iacoangeli accepted his PhD "cum laude" in Life Sciences in January 2016 from "Sapienza" University of Rome where he worked on structural bioinformatics with a particular focus on protein structure prediction and protein-peptide interaction. He joined King’s College London in March 2016 and he is Principal Investigator of a team of computational scientists and Bioinformatics teaching lead at the Department of Biostatistics and Health Informatics. The focus of his lab is twofold: i) the development and use of bioinformatics, machine learning and statistical methods to analyze large multi-omics and clinical datasets, to study the biological basis of neurodegenerative diseases; ii) the development of bioinformatics solutions for precision medicine and to allow scientists without extensive informatics expertise to take advantage of publicly available large biodata. As a result of the impact and quality of his research, he was awarded the European Network to Cure ALS (ENCALS) Young Investigator Award 2021. Dr. Iacoangeli is author of over 50 scientific articles in the field of Structural and Genomic Bioinformatics and MND/ALS genetics.
