Manja Meggendorfer, PhD
The future of personalized genomics
Manja Meggendorfer is the Head of Molecular Genetics at Munich Leukemia Laboratory (MLL), where she oversees various R&D activities such as the 5,000 genome project, which is aimed at better understanding the genetic factors behind leukemia. She received her Master of Science in Biology from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich and her PhD. in collaboration with the Helmholtz Center Munich working on gene regulation within the architecture of the cell nucleus. After her post-doctorate, she moved to the field of hematology as a scientist in the department of molecular genetics at MLL. In combination with her MBA in Health Care Management, Manja hopes to improve the diagnostic and prognostic work associated with routine diagnostic approaches for leukemia or lymphoma patients.

Delivering genomic solutions to a broad range of clinical and research questions
Bob joined MGI in 1994 and has over 25 years of experience in the field of DNA sequencing and analysis. Throughout his time at the McDonnell Genome Institute (MGI), he has led production-based targeted sequence efforts as well as the sequence improvement (finishing) pipelines responsible for genome sequence refinement.
MGI is a world leader in the fast-paced, constantly changing field of genomics. MGI aims to improve the human condition by producing, studying, and interpreting high-quality genome-based data that drives biological discoveries that range from the bench to the hospital bedside. MGI values the open sharing of information and ideas and encourages collaboration while also engaging the next generation of scientists through educational outreach efforts.
